Former NFL Football Player Arrested for Serious Child Abuse Claims
Adarius Taylor, a seven-year NFL veteran, was arrested in Florida over the weekend on serious charges involving child welfare and solicitation, according to public jail records.
Taylor, 34, was booked on two separate charges: one count of negligent child abuse without bodily harm and another for soliciting another for prostitution, lewdness, or assignation. He was released from custody on Sunday after posting a $6,000 bond.
Further details surrounding the incident have not yet been made public. Requests for comment have been submitted to the appropriate authorities.
Taylor, who played college football at Florida Atlantic University, entered the NFL in 2014 as an undrafted free agent. During his professional career, he spent time with the Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Cleveland Browns.
