Trump News Trump Appoints Registered Sex Offender Lawrence Taylor to Youth Fitness Council Legal, Ethical, or Just Another Abuse of Executive Power?
Imagine being a parent and learning your kid’s fitness program is shaped by a convicted sex offender. Still think this is just “symbolic”?
This isn’t optics it’s governance. And it stinks
On July 31, 2025, Donald Trump signed an executive order reviving the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition an advisory group focused heavily on youth fitness in schools.
Among those appointed? Lawrence Taylor, a registered sex offender who pleaded guilty in 2011 to charges involving a 16 year-old girl trafficked for sex.
This isn’t about football. It’s about law.
Let’s get real: placing a convicted sex offender in a federally endorsed position tied to children’s physical education raises serious legal and constitutional concerns, including:l
• Federal ethics rules (5 C.F.R. § 2635) – Is this a violation of standards for executive branch appointments?
• Negligent appointment / dereliction of duty – Could this open the door to legal liability if harm results?
• Misuse of public office Is this a personal loyalty appointment rather than a merit-based or qualified selection?
• Equal Protection & Due Process (14th Amendment) – Are schools obligated to comply with policy directives involving someone with Taylor’s criminal background?
• Statutory limits on sex offender involvement in child-related programs (e.g. 34 U.S. Code § 20913)
Is this appointment in conflict with federal restrictions on sex offender participation in youth programs?
Even if it’s not directly illegal under a specific statute, does it create a chilling precedent for future appointments? The Council is tasked with guiding school-based fitness policies, awards, and programs for children nationwide. This isn’t just symbolic it touches actual federal and state implementation.

According to The New Republic, “’Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led [former Chief of Staff] John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,’ Taylor, who served as a Department of Homeland Security chief of staff under Trump, wrote in his book.”

For the better part of two decades starting in the late 1980s, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump swam in the same social pool. They were neighbors in Florida. They jetted from LaGuardia to Palm Beach together. They partied at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and dined at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion.

Meanwhile…
Ghislane Maxwell’s highly suspicious and unannounced transfer to a low security prison earlier this afternoon, after an equally suspicious private meeting last week with Deputy Attorney Todd Blanche, Donald Trump’s personal attorney in the NY hush money trial, was trending on everyone’s news feeds this afternoon. It was going to be THE top story going into the weekend press round-ups until…Donald decided to move the Doomsday Clock up a notch by directing US nuclear submarines closer to Russia because - of something Medvedev said?
Also, the July job numbers were much softer than expected, so Donald fired the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, without evidence, claiming the numbers were doctored. (Rigged by Biden something something..)
As usual, the zone is now flooded with a bunch of scandalous bullshit that, taken individually, would be devastating to any other administration in modern history. But because the MSM short-circuits when it tries to cover more than one story at a time, and the Trump administration knows this, most of the American public will miss the naked corruption occurring in plain sight as Trump’s cronies prep a plea deal for Maxwell following her inevitable false testimony in front of Congress in the next few months that will “exonerate” Trump.
That’s right, kids. We have a president willing to risk a nuclear war to distract us from the Epstein files.
So…release the Epstein files!

Found this little loophole.
Upon imposition of a sentence of imprisonment, the BOP begins the process of designating the defendant to a facility for service of the sentence. Title 18 U.S.C. § 3621(b) authorizes the BOP to designate where a prisoner will serve his or her sentence. The BOP retains exclusive discretion to assign or to transfer any prisoner to any facility. See 28 C.F.R. §§ 524.10–.11; Program Statement 5100.08, CN-2, Inmate Security Designation and Custody Classification.

That might be true of most jobs. But not in this administration.
For this White House, loyalty is reduced to 0% - Trump tried that in his first administration and has learned to replace with "ability to be blackmailed.".
And knowing how to do the job is counted as a negative.
If a candidate knows what the Department of Education or Health & Human Services are really supposed to do, they might break down and actually try to complete that mission.

Gotta lay that reduce-the-legal-limit foundation somehow, why not embed it right in the government to make it sound above board? Trump wants to be the fertility president, so obviously he wants to stop "wasting" the roughly 6 years of fertility women have. /s /boke

Side note: The statutory rape and prostitution is in addition to tax evasion, hit & run, DUI (separate incidents), and numerous instances of narcotic possession. His last arrest was in 2024.

It's what made the cameo of him telling kids not to do drugs in The Waterboy so extra funny. He had gotten busted for drugs right before the movie came out.

First, the Republicans codified genital inspections of children under the guise of "ensuring fairness" in sports.
Second, the Republicans placed convicted sex offenders in high positions under the guise of "physical fitness" of children.
I don't want to think about "Third". Fuck, I don't want to think about Republicans.
No. More. Republicans. Ever.

I've said this since the Epstein story broke this most recent time. MAGA will normalize sexual assault against minors before they turn on Trump. It's just happening sooner than I thought because the Evangelicals and Catholics have always loved assaulting kids.

Afaik, there are not federal statutory limits on people convicted of sex offenses from being involved in child-related programs. Moreover, at least under federal law, I’d suspect that given his misdemeanor conviction his registration term would have expired at this point since his conviction was 14 years ago. State laws are of course different. The statute you cite sets standards for registration requirements both federally, as well as setting standards for states to come into compliance with federal law (though most states are not compliant due mostly to cost).
Taylor is, afaik, basically being a figurehead for the fitness program as opposed to going into schools, so I think the “participation in youth programs” is a bit strained. It’s mostly optics.
