Lawrence Taylor due back in NY court on rape case

Pro football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor is returning to court on his rape case in suburban New York.

Taylor’s case is to be called in Rockland County Court. Defense lawyer Arthur Aidala described the court session as a status conference. District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said Wednesday he wasn’t sure what would happen.

The ex-NFL MVP is accused of paying $300 to have sex with a 16-year-old Bronx runaway in a suburban hotel room in May. He’s pleaded not guilty to third-degree rape and other charges.

A new judge, state Supreme Court Justice William Kelly, has taken over the case.
