Good grief. Is this a case of like father, like son?
TMZ is reporting the son of NFL legend Lawrence Taylor has been arrested for rape in Georgia.
Lawrence Taylor Jr. was arrested on July 7 on 3 counts — statutory rape aggravated child molestation, and statutory aggravated sodomy, according to the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office.
As we’ve reported, LTJ’s father was arrested for rape in 2010 after having sex with an underage prostitute. Lawrence Taylor Sr. eventually pled guilty to one count of patronizing a prostitute and one count of sexual misconduct. He was sentenced to 6 years probation with no jail time — and was ordered to register as a sex offender.
Meanwhile, according to the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office, Lawrence Taylor Jr. could face 25 YEARS TO LIFE in prison if convicted on either the sodomy charge or the child molestation charge.
The statutory rape charge carries a sentence of 1 to 20 years behind bars.
According to the warrant, obtained by TMZ, the accuser is a female under the age of 16.
Also, according to the doc, the charge of “sodomy” does not entail anal sex — in the legal sense, the term “sodomy” can refer to oral sex … as it does in this instance.
According to the warrant, there was ANOTHER underage girl at the scene … who told cops she had had sex with LTJ back in February 2012 approximately 5 or 6 times.
LTJ was hit with the aggravated sodomy charge and the child molestation charge for the alleged forced oral sex on the first accuser.
He was arrested for statutory rape for the alleged sex with the second accuser.

And if you’re wondering, reps for Lawrence Taylor Sr. had no comment.
