A co-defendant in a major drug and sexual assault case involving former NFL star Darren Sharper has entered a plea agreement in Louisiana court.
Sharper, once a Pro Bowl safety who reached two Super Bowls with the Packers and Saints, has pleaded either guilty or no contest to charges that he drugged and raped women in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Louisiana. His initial sentence was pegged at nine years, but a U.S. District Court judge rejected that as too lenient earlier this year. He now faces 15 to 20 years in prison. Sharper’s charges involve at least nine, and as many as 15, different victims.
