NEW CITY, N.Y. (AP)\u2014Former pro football star Lawrence Taylor, who pleaded
\nguilty in January to sexual misconduct and patronizing an underage prostitute,
\nwas declared a low-risk sex offender on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors argued for a level 2 designation. Instead, the judge chose the
\nlower Level 1, which means a photo of the former New York Giants<\/a> linebacker will
\nnot be posted on the online sex-offender registry.<\/p>\n

Rockland County Court Judge William Kelly said Taylor\u2019s crime was already
\nwell-known.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe difference between Level 1 and 2 is almost minuscule because of the
\nnotification that has already gone out to the world,\u201d said Kelly, who added
\nthat Taylor \u201cwould be awfully foolish to go out and do this again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NFL Hall of Fame member did not attend the hearing.<\/p>\n

The girl was 16\u2014under the age of consent\u2014when she met Taylor. He said
\nshe claimed she was 19.<\/p>\n

Last month, the teenager made a surprise appearance at Taylor\u2019s sentencing,
\neager to declare that he should be behind bars, but she was denied the chance to
\nspeak in court.<\/p>\n

Speaking outside court, she denied she was a prostitute, and she said Taylor
\nshould have been able to tell she had been beaten and that she was underage.<\/p>\n

Taylor was sentenced to six years\u2019 probation, as agreed when he pleaded
\nguilty in January.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
