NEW ORLEANS, LA (WTVB) – Former NFL star Darren Sharper was sentenced to 18 years in prison as part of a plea agreement in which he took responsibility for drugging and raping women in four states. The former safety of the Packers, Saints and Vikings apologized in court for “heinous decisions” that led to sexually assaulting nine women.
Sharper, who was a five-time Pro Bowler and ended his career with the eighth-most interceptions in NFL history, was previously sentenced to nine years in Arizona for similar crimes.
