NEW CITY, N.Y. - There's one piece left to be determined in the sex-crimes sentence imposed on former pro football star Lawrence Taylor.

A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday morning to determine whether Taylor is a Level 1, 2 or 3 sex offender. Taylor's not expected to attend.

He was arrested in May after meeting a 16-year-old girl in a suburban hotel. He pleaded guilty in January to sexual misconduct and patronizing an underage prostitute.

Taylor was sentenced last month to six years of probation.

He also has to register as a sex offender. His attorney has said Taylor should be at Level 1, or low risk.

The state Criminal Justice Services Division says that among other differences, photos of Level 1 offenders aren't posted online. Levels 2 and 3 are posted.
