Taylor was added to the sex offender registry back in 2011 after pleading guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute. At the time, he had been accused to sexual contact with a 16-year-old girl. Taylor claims he was unaware of her age.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer is no stranger to law enforcement. Taylor was arrested multiple times for attempting to buy narcotics in the 1990s. He was also arrested in 2009 after leaving the scene of an accident and in 2016 for driving under the influence.
Despite Taylor’s criminal history, he remains regarded as the best defender in football history.
