After seeming to have put his troubled past behind him, former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor again found himself in a courtroom in this small Hudson Valley town Thursday.
Ramapo authorities said the Pro Football Hall of Famer faces up to four years in prison after being arrested and charged with raping a 16-year-old girl who authorities say was beaten by a Bronx pimp, then delivered to Taylor's hotel room.

Taylor paid the girl $300 for sex, authorities said. En route to the hotel, she sent a text message to her uncle, who alerted the New York Police Department. The NYPD arrested the suspected pimp, Rasheed Davis, an ex-convict on parole. The NYPD informed Ramapo police, who woke up Taylor and arrested him in his room at a nearby Holiday Inn at 3:55 Thursday morning. The girl, who was reported missing in March, has been reunited with her uncle, authorities said.
More details to come.
