The accusations are plentiful in multiple alleged rape cases against former NFL player Darren Sharper.
Although innocent until proven guilty, Sharper faces accusations from women in over 5 states claiming they were drugged and raped. None of the women know each other, but all have similar stories. With the jurisdictions where the alleged crimes took place piling up, prosecutors in different states fight over who can charge Sharper first.
Los Angeles was the first to officially charge Sharper, with New Orleans following suit. The shamed former professional football safety is currently in Los Angeles, out on a $1M bail bond. According to TMZ, New Orleans prosecutors fought Sharper’s lawyers to keep him in custody in L.A., even after he agreed to fly to NOLA to face charges. Instead, prosecutors wanted marshals to apprehend Sharper, and transport him back to New Orleans in shackles as their prisoner.
Sharper, 38, was recently fired from the NFL Network, as an on-air analyst.
