After being sentenced by a federal judge to 18 years and four months in prison in a drug and rape case involving victims in four states, former NFL safety Darren Sharper was a handed a 20-year prison sentence by a Louisiana judge on Thursday.
Judge Karen Herman insisted that the sentencing for two counts of forcible rape and one count of simple rape was lenient or a person whose behaviors has been “such an epic disappointment.”
“I find this sentence to be woefully inadequate,” Herman said in the court.
Sharper pleaded guilty in state and federal courts in New Orleans, and pleased guilty or no contest to similar charges in Arizona, California and Nevada.
