No plea bargain for LT...
UPDATE: Lawrence Taylor has entered his not guilty plea in court. Outside the courthouse, his attorney said there is no plea bargain, so it will go to trial. He said LT was under "enormous pressure" and was doing "the best he can under the circumstances."
ORIGINAL: Lawrence Taylor will plead not guilty to five criminal charges today. The charges come after allegations that he paid for sex with a 16-year old prostitute in May. LT says he never touched her sexually, only himself.
Taylor is being charged with third-degree rape, criminal sexual act, sexual abuse, endangering the welfare of a child and patronizing a prostitute.
Taylor has already arrived at Rockland County, NY court. TMZ has video of LT clashing with a reporter, who asked, "Can you comment about what's happening today?" LT responded, "Darling ... grow up."
