MANHATTAN — The teenage girl Lawrence Taylor is accused of raping told the Daily News Monday that she didn't recognize the Giants legend and doesn't want to "ruin his reputation."
In an interview with the paper, the unnamed 16-year-old said Taylor paid her $300 cash for sex after she was brought to a Rockland County Holiday Inn by accused pimp Rasheed Davis.
"I got it over with as quickly as I could," she told the News. "Afterward, all he said was turn off the TV before you leave."
She said Davis beat her up and forced her to have sex with Taylor. She told the paper she thinks he deserves jail time, but wasn't as adamant about Taylor.
"I was a huge Giant fan and I used to look up to him," she told the paper. "I don't want to ruin his reputation."
She also described in graphic detail what happened that night.
When she got to Taylor's room, the door was open it was dark, she said. He was inside, naked. They made small talk. He asked her how old she was.
"I told him I was 19," she told the News.
The girl, still recovering from a black eye, told the paper she wants to turn her life around after the incident.
