Fomer NFL player Darren Sharper, facing at least 9 counts of rape across 5 states, turns himself in [View all]
Former NFL safety and NFL Network analyst Darren Sharper turned himself in to Los Angeles police on Thursday evening without incident after two more rape charges were filed against him. The LAPD confirmed the arrest to CNN.com, but provided no further details.
This came soon after Sharper was charged with two counts of aggravated rape in New Orleans, where a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Sharper was first taken into custody by the Los Angeles County Sherriff’s Department on Jan. 17 on sexual assault charges. Bail was set at $200,000, which Sharper posted. He pleaded not guilty to the California charges.
In total, Sharper is now accused of raping nine women, and drugging 11, in five states. There are also reports of rapes in Tempe, Ariz.; Miami; and Las Vegas. According to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s statement, Sharper was charged with drugging and raping two women — one last October and one in January — using zolpidem and morphine to sedate them.
