Bail for The Dancing With The Stars alum was set at $75,000; his attorney arguing that being a public figure insures that he won’t be a flight risk. “He’s not going anywhere. He is a law abiding citizen,” attorney Arthur Aidala said in court. The prosecution was asking for a $100,000 bail. “That amount of money is ludicrous and ridiculous,” Aidala said.  “Mr. Taylor is denying these charges, he’s 51 years old, married and has 3 children.”
