Taylor has been a level one sex offender since 2011 after he was found guilty of having sex with a minor he believed was an adult at the time, according to ESPN. He pled guilty to charges of sexual misconduct and soliciting a prostitute in the third degree.
As a level one offender, his picture isn’t in the sex offender’s database, according to the same report.
As I always say with criminal cases, everyone who is accused has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
That’s our system here in America, and we should all be thankful for it.
As a registered sex offender there are rule Taylor is required to follow and if he didn’t, he’ll have to face the consequences.
Hopefully, the authorities can get to the bottom of what happened and deal with it accordingly.
