New York Giants legend Lawrence Taylor, who was arrested in mid-July for failing to report an address change as a registered sex offender, had his felony charges dropped on Wednesday.
TMZ Sports reports that Broward County prosecutors made the decision to drop the case, which Taylor’s attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, celebrated.
Mark Eiglarsh says the decision came down from Broward County prosecutors on Wednesday … after he tells us he successfully showed the allegations against Taylor stemmed from nothing more than the former football player’s estranged wife making claims in order to “gain leverage in their bitter, three-year divorce battle.”
“We are deeply grateful for the prosecutors in this case,” Eiglarsh said, “ensuring that true justice was served.”
At the time of the arrest, Eiglarsh claimed the issue resulted from a “significant misunderstanding.” Taylor later pleaded not guilty.
Taylor was arrested on a similar charge in December 2021 and pleaded no contest to a lesser charge.
