Former NFL player Adarius Taylor was arrested recently for leaving his 6-year-old son in his car while meeting up with a prostitute, according to authorities. The incident occurred on May 8, when Taylor responded to a fake online ad offering escort services for money, set up by law enforcement.
Police reported that Taylor took his son to an undisclosed location, left the child in the car, and then met with an undercover officer in what appeared to be a hotel room. Video evidence captured Taylor engaging in a conversation about sex with the officer before abruptly leaving the scene. He was promptly arrested for solicitation and authorities later found the boy alone in the car.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd criticized Taylor’s actions, stating that leaving a child with medical issues unattended was unacceptable. Fortunately, the child was safely retrieved by his mother and is now doing well. Taylor, who has not addressed the incident publicly, is scheduled for a court arraignment on June 10.
