Ex-NFL Star Warren Sapp Spared Jail in Phoenix Prostitution Case

PHOENIX — Former National Football League star Warren Sapp will be spared jail time under two plea agreements related to his arrest for soliciting a prostitute and assault at a Phoenix hotel the morning after the Super Bowl, prosecutors said on Monday.

Sapp, a 42-year-old Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive tackle, pleaded guilty to the two misdemeanor charges and was ordered to complete two classes as part of a deal reached last month in Phoenix Municipal Court.

He has already completed a prostitution-related class and had that charge dismissed, and must now complete another course on anger management, said Loren Braud, a staff attorney for the city.
