NEW YORK
— A teenager who has nhl jerseys cheap accused
former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor of sexually assaulting her
when she was 16 cried Tuesday as she described her encounter with the NFL Hall
of Famer at the start of a civil trial.
Taylor
pleaded guilty to

misdemeanor charges of sexual misconduct and patronizing an underage prostitute
for having sex with her in 2010 and is serving six years of probation. He
leaned forward in his chair to watch the 19-year-old testify in U.S. District
Court.
The teen,
Cristina Fierro, who ha s http://www.cheapjerseysma.comsince
married, told a Manhattan jury hearing her lawsuit that she didn't know who
Taylor was when she found him naked on a bed in a hotel room in Montebello,
just north of New York City. She says another man forced her to have sex with
Taylor for $300. She said she brought the lawsuit to hold Taylor accountable.
The Brooklyn-born Fierro, who grew up in
Pennsylvania and New York, began weeping as she graphically described her
meeting with Taylor, who says he believed she was 19 at the time.
"He said I had nice curly hair like his
wife," Fierro recalled.
She said he told her she was pretty as he
massaged her after she turned her back to him.
Fierro said she went to a bathroom to call
her uncle, who told her to dial 911. She said she did so and left the phone in
her bag, "waiting for shadows to come and banging on the door to come get
me." But the police never showed up.
She said Taylor, who played in the NFL for 13
seasons and won two Super Bowls, got on top of her and she squirmed and tried
to push him away but it "felt like I wasn't making a difference because of
how big he was compared to me."
She said she told him it was her "first
time" and he replied, "Just relax."
"It was really rough and painful,"
she testified, saying she felt suicidal several months later and began taking
medication for depression, insomnia and anxiety.
Fierro testified that when the sex was over
Taylor "just pulled out money and said, `Here, can you turn the TV off on
your way out?"'
When she returned to the car of the man who
had ordered her to have sex with Taylor, she said, she called her uncle and
told him in Spanish that calling 911 didn't work. The police were waiting when
the car arrived back at the man's Bronx home. The man later was sentenced to
seven years in prison.
Taylor's lawyer, Arthur Aidala, said in his
opening statement that Taylor never used violence, never threatened Fierro and
thought she was sent by a friend who offered "female companionship."
Aidala tried to mitigate the circumstances by
noting that Taylor "did have sex with a woman who was 16 years, 11 months
and three weeks old."
"I am not condoning what he did,"
Aidala said. "It's a crime he's been punished for."
He said the lawsuit, seeking unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages, is "a money grab" because of
Taylor's fame.
With cross-examination set to start
Wednesday, Aidala asked the judge if he could tell the jury that a rape kit
test showed the semen of two men including Taylor. The judge didn't immediately
decide.
Taylor, who lives in Broward County, Fla.,
led the Giants to Super Bowl titles in 1987 and 1991. He was elected to the Pro
Football Hall of Fame and the NFL's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team. He was
expected to testify Wednesday.
The Associated Press doesn't normally publish
the names of accusers in sexual-assault cases unless they agree to be named or
identify themselves publicly, as Fierro has done.
