Sex trafficking charge brought against man accused of arranging sex for Lawrence Taylor

Man accused of arranging Taylor tryst with teen

NEW YORK — A prosecutor says the government is investigating leads that a man who authorities say set up football star Lawrence Taylor with a 16-year-old runaway had forced other young women into prostitution.

Federal prosecutor Amanda Kramer made the revelation Friday at a hearing for Rasheed Davis, who was held without bail on a charge that he engaged in the sex trafficking of a child.

Davis attorney Sabrina Shroff had said her client lived with his mother and was a lifelong New Yorker and should get bail.

A criminal complaint said Taylor told police he engaged in sex acts with a woman in a hotel room before paying her $300 in cash. He is charged with third-degree rape and patronizing a prostitute. His lawyer has denied the charges.
