Like father, like son? Unfortunately, it sure sounds like it.

Back in 2010, Lawrence Taylorwas arrested and charged with rape after he had sex with an underage prostitute in a New York hotel. He later pleaded guilty to patronizing a prostitute and sexual misconduct and was given six years probation and forced to register as a sex offender. And now, his son Lawrence Taylor Jr. finds himself in a somewhat similar situation.

Over the weekend, Taylor Jr.—who was born in 1981—was arrested in Georgia and charged with statutory rape, aggravated child molestation, and statutory aggravated sodomy. According to a police report, cops were called to a house in Powder Springs, Ga. on Saturday after Taylor Jr. allegedly performed oral sex on a girl under the age of 16 after she asked him not to. And to make matters even worse for LT's son, there was another underage girl at the home at the time who told police that she had sex with Taylor Jr. on a number of different occasions early last year. So Taylor Jr. was charged with crimes stemming from his encounters with both females.

So far, neither LT nor his son have responded to the accusations. But Taylor Jr. was booked on the charges listed above and will have his day in court sometime in the near future. Check out his mugshot in the thumbs gallery above, and stay tuned for new developments in the case.
