What a guy!
Retired Giants Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor sure knows how to treat a lady. Lying naked in a Rockland County Holiday Inn with abused child Cristina Fierro, who’d been beaten and bloodied by her pimp, the 260-pound Taylor ordered the girl, who at 16 weighed 110 pounds, to “take out her hair.’’
“He told me I had nice, curly hair. Like his wife,’’ Fierro, who started to sob, testified yesterday in an absurd civil trial against the enormous, adulterous Taylor, 53.
The wife, Lynette, was a no-show, staying home in Florida to throw a seventh-birthday party for their son.
“He told me I was pretty,’’ Fierro testified. “He told me where he resides at. He told me he has kids.
“Whenever there was silence, he told me to take my dress off,’’ Fierro said, again dissolving into tears. “He was persistent.”
Taylor pleaded guilty to two wrist-slap misdemeanors — sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute — for taking advantage of the underage girl in a sleazy hotel room in 2010. He was sentenced to six years’ probation by a judge who’s an obvious football fan. He also got a place of honor on the national sex-offenders registry.
Taylor, also known as LT, insists that the sex with the minor was consensual.
Yet LT marched into the courtroom, all 6 feet, 3 1/2 inches of bad attitude, and immediately glared at Fierro, who is suing him for an unspecified sum. Now 19 and married, she avoided Taylor’s scowl.
When a Post reporter tried to make nice, Taylor wagged a finger in his face menacingly and told him to get lost. When I asked Taylor about the pink, rubber breast-cancer bracelet on his right wrist (his left bore an enormous gold watch and a fat, gold wedding band) Taylor got scary.
“I’m sure you want to know about it!’’ he barked, psyching me out with his glare.
So you can imagine how Fierro felt lying with a horny player more than twice her size and age, and a dozen times her strength.
“He was lying on top of me. I said I can’t breathe. I was pushing him away from me.’’ Taylor attempted to give the child oral sex, but she said “No!’’ and he stopped.
She said she asked Taylor to put on a condom. But the doofus couldn’t quite do it. “It’s my first time,’’ Cristina whimpered. “He didn’t care . . . It was really painful.’’
At age 14, Fierro’s mom went to prison. Her dad was absent. She settled in the home of Rasheed Davis, the man who sold her body to Taylor for chump change, $300.
On cross-examination, Taylor’s lawyer, Arthur Aidala, confronted Fierro with the results of the rape kit she underwent in a hospital. She’d been with a second man, though it’s unclear who that man was.
Taylor ended the quickie sensitively. “He had money in his pocket,’’ said Fierro. “He said, ‘Here. Turn the TV off when you leave.’ ”
Davis, now serving seven years for sex trafficking, took the $300.
I hope Fierro gets a bundle from LT.
