>> well, lawrence taylor, a fan favorite on "dancing with the stars" last year was arrested for raping the girl. she's 16 years old. she did not want to go to this room. she was caught up with a pimp. >> wait. what do you mean she's caught up with a pimp? it's kidnapping. i realize that you are a celebrity reporter, you always get the scoop, but, in my mind, that's kidnapping. that is false imprisonment when you keep someone somewhere where they don't want to be. it goes for lawrence taylor, too. i don't know why he's not charged with kidnapping and holdsing her in the hotel room. continue. >> absolutely. you are right. she was panicked. she texted her uncle and told him what happened. she said lawrence taylor raped her. he then gave her $300. he paid her for what he thought was sex and then when she got away with the pimp, she texted her uncle who was able to find her and have the police find her. >> jake, legal correspondent in session jane, could somebody explain to me why he's charged with rape in the third degree, maximum four years. this is clearly a case of rape in the first degree. by forcible compulsion. that video is from abc's "dancing with the stars." >> we all watched him on "dancing with the stars", he was a celebrity contestant charged with a rape. this was a minor, a 17-year-old girl. >> 16. 16. >> 16 years old. when you have sex with a 16-year-old girl, there's not a defense. it's statutory rape. there's no defense because of the age. why is it a third degree felony? that's a good question. these are arresting charges. probable cause to arrest him. the prosecution has not announced formal charges. >> put him up in full. i want to look at lawrence taylor on "dancing." there you go. there he is. i want to take it all in. you know what, all dressed up, all with professional dancer, he was a fan favorite. he made it through six rounds. but, you know what? police say, this is all for show. he got in touch with a pimp who just got out from behind bars on voluntary manslaughter, shooting a 16-year-old at a party, an unarmed 16-year-old dead, he delivers a little girl, a 16-year-old girl to this man's hotel room like she's chinese delivery. she's got a big black eye. she's clearly being beaten and he rapes her. what happens when the cops finally get to the room? >> when they finally got to the room -- let's backtrack. let's tell everybody about the young woman. she ran away from home, lived in new york. three weeks ago, she met up with this man, last name davis. police say he's the pimp. he took her, against her will to the hotel room, told her to go into the room, against her will. prosecutors say she had sex. when she got out, they wanted to take her to another man. she freaked out. she texted her uncle, went back home to her uncle. >> when cops get to the hotel room -- >> the uncle called police. police were able to go to the hotel room because she remembered the number of the room at the hotel. they knocked on the door. they walked in. there he was. >> when they got in there, elly, our chief editorial producer, what, if anything, did the "dancing with the stars" celebrity have to say?

>> i don't know. let's talk about it. did she take the money? >> i think the pimp, the alleged pimp may have taken the money. i think he did the dealings. i'm not sure. if she was handed the money, it was for the pimp. i don't know that we can say she consented. >> i don't know that she kept the money. if you are the pimp, your goal is to get the money earned by the trost constitute. >> here is a little trick about the law. a juvenile cannot enter into a contract, even an illegal contract. that is why 13-year-old's can't go buy a car. as soon as they sell you a car, they'll crash it and default on the payments. that's why a 9-year-old can't buy a house. minors cannot enter a contract. it doesn't matter what she did. it doesn't matter if she consented. it doesn't matter. a minor is incapable, under the law of consenting, period. end of story. but, here is the statute here, the new york stature. rape in the first degree, person guilty of rape, first degree when he or she engages in sex or intercourse by forcible con pulgs. she was beaten by a pimp. she had a huge black eye when she showed up at taylor's hotel room. what more do i need. to katrina in texas. hi, dear. >> caller: how you doing? >> great, what is your question. >> caller: why aren't these athletes being held accountable for their actions. on the tv, tiger woods is cheating or they are raping someone or this or that. they are not held accountable. it's swept under the rug. >> straight out to jason write for yahoo sports. what gives, jason? i'm great. i'll let you answer that question from katrina in texas. why? >> well, in some cases they are held accountable. plaxico burris is two years behind bars. with ben roethlisberger -- >> wait, wait, wait. plaxico has two years for what? >> he shot himself and using an unlicensed gun. he was held accountable after he committed a crime. as far as ben roethlisberger, that case, there was too much contradictory evidence for the prosecutors to proceed with the case. this one seems simple. the girl is under age. it's clear. if they have recovered evidence, i believe there's a condom that was recovered. if there's physical evidence, they are going to proceed with the charge and he'll be held accountable. it's a straight forward case. >> the reality is, the perception that star athletes such as him, he's a hall of famer, nfl hall of famer. >> the greatest player in the history of the game, actually. >> don't care. >> i'm jesz telling you who he is. >> i know who he is and i know about his football fame. don't care. the perception among americans is that star athletes are not held accountable. now, jason cole, do you disagree with that premise? do you think they are given star treatment or celebrity treatment when they get in trouble? >> i think that powerful people have a way of getting out of things better than anybody else because they are rich and famous. i think there's truth to that. when prosecutors have the goods on them, they go after them as strong as they can. there's a little bit of both. the perception is, the perception exists. you're going, or back to college, that's your bullseye. it is for devry university students. in fact, each year thousands of our graduates find themselves right where they want to be -- employed in their field of study. and all those offer letters up there? that's just from last year. devry university. discover education working at devry.edu. throughout our lives, we encounter new opportunities. at the hartford, we help you pursue them with confidence. by preparing you for tomorrow. while protecting what you have today. you've counted on us for 200 years. let's embrace tomorrow. and with the hartford behind you, achieve what's ahead of you. determine if a car is a best buy? first they drive it in the real world. and put it through its paces. they rate its fit and finish. and the amenities inside. they factor in purchase price and operating costs, fuel economy and resale value. in short, they do what you do to test its quality. the consumers digest best buys from chevy. put them to your own test. and may the best car win. and at holiday inn express, you always can. holiday inn express. stay you. and stay rewarded with the hit it big promotion-- earn up to $500 dollars at over 300 retailers. approximately 3:54 a.m. on today's date, may 6th, this department received a call from nypd in reference to a possible rape. it may have occurred in the holidome which is located in the village of montebello within the confines of the town of ramapo. the officers responded. they interviewed and investigated the individual that answered the door. identified himself as mr. lawrence taylor. >> the "dancing with the stars" phenom lawrence taylor really was a smash on the dance floor. the fans loved him. he made it through at least six cuts that i recall. but now police say he ordered up a 16-year-old teenager like she's a pizza, sexually molested her, then had a good night's sleep until cops finally show up. we are taking your calls live. but first to sheryl mccollum, why do you believe the defense attorney has already locked himself in by declaring to the public, nobody had sex in the room that night? >> because having sex with a 16-year-old is illegal. he had to deny it because he knew good and well how old she was. because he ordered her from his pimp. >> joining me right now, special guest mark klaas. child advocate, president and founder of klaas kids foundation. marc, you've heard all the facts now. weigh in. >> sure. this is a very, very clear cut case of human trafficking. she is under 18 years of age. she is under the influence and coercion of a pimp. she was sold as a sexually commodity in a deal between two grown men. incidentally, two grown men that are known for their viciousness. one is already a killer. you think she's going to refuse him? and the other one is known for his brutality on the football field. she can refuse this man as well? she had absolutely nowhere to go. she's a complete, total victim of this. they should be charging human trafficking for this. the pimp should get at least 30 years for what he did. they should add on human trafficking charges to taylor. he shouldn't be out of jail right now. do athletes get a double standard? do they get a push in our society? take it from o.j. simpson killing his wife and walking away from it to this incident right here and you can just put the place markers in as you wish. this is an offense to humanity, what's going on here tonight. >> you know what, marc klaas? i think back when i was 16. i think i was worried about what my 4-h project was going to be for the fair that fall. and what cheerleading outfit we were going to wear and whether i was going to pass chemistry and look at what this girl has lived through. now, marc klaas, everybody that's a legal eagle, everybody that follows the courts and the justice system knows the meaning of rape, homicide, false imprisonment, kidnapping. but in a nutshell, break it down, klaas. explain human trafficking in a nutshell. >> sure. this is simple. this is something that victimizes hundreds of thousands of kids in the united states every year. they find themselves on the streets for whatever reason. and they're befriended by somebody who soon becomes a very controlling individual. he's known as a pimp. he sells these girls out or boys sometimes out 10, 15 times a day until they're able to bring in their quota, which could be anywhere from $500 to $1,000. each one of those dollars, every cent, goes to the pimp. the girl gets nothing. the girl can receive nothing. ultimately, as in this case, this needs to be charged as human trafficking so that she can be -- so that she can access some of the services that are available to human trafficking victims. she is nothing less than a victim of a system and of both of these two men. >> two dr. bethany marshall psychoanalyst, author of "deal breakers." why is it irritating me so much. i enjoy "dancing with the stars." looking at him is making my skin crawl. >> because what you are really seeing, nancy, is what we call a power rapist. the same type of satisfaction he gets out of paying $300 to use a young vulnerable girl as a punching bag, he goes on "dancing with the stars" for gratification at dancing in front of people. nancy, let's call him what he is. he is a power rapest. power rapists rape because they love to see the look of terror and fear on the woman's face. if he really wanted sex, nancy, he could have paid $3,000 or $4,000 for a high-class escort. one of these tough girls who sets her own rules and her own hours. but, no. he did not want that. he wanted to pick on one of the most vulnerable members of our society, a child with a black eye who was being kidnapped by a pimp and that is where he derived his satisfaction. the power and the violence came first. he was the defensive player. he picked on the most defenseless member of our society. that's what's so egregious. >> out to the lines. edith, massachusetts. hi, edith. >> caller: hi, nancy. first of all, happy mother's day. >> thank you. >> caller: you're welcome. >> you're the fist one that's said that. thank you. you know, i was playing with lucy today. this indoor jumping house place. just out of the blue, out of the blue she said, i love you. >> caller: that's sweet. >> they're just learning to say that. and i cannot even imagine pouring my heart and soul into her and john david and at age 16 somebody comes along and mistreats her. >> caller: yeah. i have a three-part question. first of all, do you have any phone records between taylor and the pimp? do you have any of the girl's dna on the condom? and about the beating, how was she able to prove which man did what to her? >> okay. let's go through those. unleash the lawyers. eleanor odom, renee rockwell, peter odom. first of all, this is your specialty as far as the girl's dna on the condom, of course it's going to be there. >> of course. of course. his should be there, too, as well. you're going to be able to get that. >> they did say used condom. we can only assume there will be dna. >> exactly. phone records, that's pretty standard, getting those in investigations. you always have just the word of the witness. but that's the most important person. she was the one who speaks. she's the best one to talk about it. you know what irritates me? this defense attorneys that act like because she was prostituted out
