    These women are just out for a piece of Darren's portion of the billions [$] he received from his father's permanent ink pen monopoly.

    This guy gotta be either the dumbest or the sickest POS(for my money it's both). If the women agreed to hook up with you in your hotel room, chances are you will get laid, why do you have to drug them and put their lives in danger?

    Rape is rarely about sex.

    Maybe this has already come up, but I expect there to be questions raised as to whether or not this sick behavior was in any way triggered by the head trauma from playing football. I won't be shocked if we hear it from his defense team.

    Nice try, but some people might not be comfortable showering with a rapist, or someone who might be attracted to them.

    The same way you might not be comfortable getting shot, or getting poked repeatedly by someone's finger.

    Darren Sharper surrenders to police

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10531405/darren-sharper-surrenders-police-rape-charges

    Former NFL safety Darren Sharper has surrendered to police in connection with the alleged rapes of two women in New Orleans last year.

    NBC News reported that Sharper turned himself in to police late Thursday night in Los Angeles after a warrant was issued for his arrest earlier in the day in New Orleans.

    An acquaintance of Sharper's, Erik Nunez, also is facing two charges of aggravated rape in the incident, which police in Louisiana said occurred at an apartment on Sept. 23, 2013. Nunez was booked on two counts of rape Friday morning in New Orleans.

    Earlier this month, Sharper was charged with seven felonies in Los Angeles related to cases in which he's accused of drugging and raping two women he met at nightclubs. He pleaded not guilty to those charges.

    Sharper also is under investigation in sexual assault cases in Florida, Nevada and Arizona.

    If convicted in California, Sharper could face more than 30 years in state prison. If convicted of aggravated rape in Louisiana, both Sharper and Nunez, 26, would face life imprisonment.

    Sharper, 38, was selected All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Green Bay Packers as a rookie and a second with the New Orleans Saints. He retired after the 2010 season, having played 14 years in the NFL, and is an analyst for NFL Network, which has suspended him indefinitely without pay.

    That was my thought. I'm wondering if they really only had enough evidence to make one or two of the cases stick. Because if they could really prove that the guy had done this to like 7+ different women, that seems like the kind of guy you would want to put away for 25+ years.
