Former NFL player Lawrence Taylor was also indicted on charges of endangering the welfare of a child and patronizing a prostitute.

Former Giants great Lawrence Taylor was indicted Wednesday for having sex with a teenage prostitute.

The Hall of Famer was charged with rape, engaging in a criminal sexual act and sexual abuse of the Bronx teen by a Rockland County grand jury. 

He was also hit with charges of endangering the welfare of a child and patronizing a prostitute. Taylor was busted on May 6 at a Holiday Inn after the 16-year-old told cops he paid her $300 to have sex with him. 

Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said the teen told them she'd been driven to the hotel by a Bronx pimp - and that she had been verbally threatened and physically assaulted. 

Taylor has denied the charges - and has reportedly come up with a dubious defense, namely that he pleasured himself and never touched the girl. 

But in an interview with The Daily News, the baby-faced teen insisted she and Taylor "definitely had intercourse." 

"If he's saying we didn't, that's not true," she said.
