Gloria Allred is representing Christina Fierro, now age 18 in a civil suit against Lawrence Taylor now age 52 for a 2010 rape of Fierro in 2010. Former New York Giants player Lawrence Taylor was slammed today with a federal sex trafficking lawsuit filed by Christina Fierro, who was forced to prostitute herself to Taylor in a New York motel room in 2010. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan, alleges Taylor "forced himself" on a "slight teenager who was visibly injured, shaken and crying, but expressly told him she did not want to engage in sex and tried to push his enormous body off hers.". After she was raped she was given $300. Pimp Rasheed Davis, also a former player, forced Fierro into the situation. Rasheed Davis is currently in the New York jail.
Here is what the girl had to say to the New York Post in 2010:
“I told him (Rasheed Davis) I wasn’t going to the hotel, and he said, ‘You’re f- – -ing this up, it’s $300,” the frightened Bronx girl, 16, said Rasheed Davis, 36, screamed at her early Thursday (2010).
“He hit me in the face, so I covered my face,” said Fierro.
“He told me to tell him my name is Carmen and I’m 19 years old,” she said. “He told me repeatedly and I had to repeat it back to him.”
When she arrived at hotel in Suffern, “the lights were off and [Taylor] didn’t see my face was bruised,” the girl recounted. “Lawrence Taylor asked me my age and I told him I was 19.”
She said she feared for her life if she didn’t have sex with Taylor. Taylor is age 51.
“If I didn’t go through with it, [Lawrence Taylor] would’ve called Rasheed Davis and there would have been consequences,” she said. “God knows what would’ve happened if I didn’t go through with it.”
On the drive back to The Bronx, the girl frantically text-messaged her uncle about the alleged assault and prostitution.
After getting the message, her uncle called 911 and cops were waiting at Rasheed Davis’ home to arrest him.
Lawrence Taylor was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999 and competed in ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." He had a highly publicized struggle with drug addiction and has had multiple legal run-ins since retiring from football. Based on the rape charges, Nutrisystem ended its endorsement deal with Taylor. In 2001, Taylor was convicted of possessing drug paraphernalia in New Jersey. The conviction stemmed from the September 1998 discovery in a hotel room of a butane torch and other materials commonly used to smoke crack.In 1996 and 1997, Lawrence Taylor was arrested in South Carolina and Florida on drug charges. In those cases, he either admitted his guilt or agreed to enter a pretrial intervention program. In 2000, Lawrence Taylor drew five years of federal probation for filing false tax returns and for tax evasion.
Police said the girl was reported missing by her family in March 2010 and had been staying with a 36-year-old parolee, Rasheed Davis, in the Bronx. The two met a few weeks ago at a Bronx bus stop, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said.
"Rasheed Davis chats her up. She explains she doesn't have a place to stay. Davis provides one," police said. Davis then forced her to perform sexual favors for others, police said.
Early Thursday morning, Davis punched and kicked her, drove her to the hotel against her will and told her she had to have sex with Lawrence Taylor, police said. When she refused, Rasheed Davis handed her over to Lawrence Taylor, who sexually assaulted her. Lawrence Taylor paid her $300, which she gave to Rasheed Davis, her pimp, police said.
At some point, the girl sent text messages to her uncle spelling out what was happening. The uncle then went to the NYPD, Browne said.
Rasheed Davis was arrested on charges of unlawful imprisonment, assault and endangering the welfare of a child. He was sentenced in April 1994 to eight to 25 years in prison for first-degree manslaughter. He was paroled in March 2008.
Lawrence Taylor, 52, was initially criminally charged with statutory rape in the incident, but pleaded guilty in March 2011 to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute. Lawrence Taylor, who now lives in Florida, was sentenced to six years probation.
The pimp, convicted killer Rasheed Davis, in August was sentenced to seven years in prison by a federal judge for the criminal case.
