Darren Sharper has yet to be charged in New Orleans, but his guilt may be decided on well before he even steps foot in a courtroom. The former NFL defensive back is facing multiple allegations of rape and sexual assault, including the two incidents in New Orleans which are currently being investigated. He is currently awaiting trial on two charges of rape in Los Angeles, as well as facing charges on two charges in Tempe, Arizona. While there is much information yet to be gathered, there is speculation that he has already been convicted by the court of public opinion.
Until recently Sharper has enjoyed a spotless reputation as a class-act both on the field and off. In business, as a teammate and as a bachelor many thought of Sharper as a stand-up guy. However, in light of these current allegations the former pro might have led a double life (via Sports Illustrated):
"In crude athletic terms: Sharper let the game come to him. But the casual approach belied an active bedroom life, even by pro-athlete standards, former teammates say. One says Sharper seemed to sleep with a different woman every night - 'almost like it was a sex addiction.' Sharper's sexual partners were often in their late teens or early 20s.
"How did that Darren Sharper end up accused of such heinous crimes? An SI investigation reveals a man that his friends never knew, surrounded by questionable characters, in a descent that landed him in a Los Angeles jail."
Sharper's MO according to the complaints was to pick up girls at nightclubs while slipping Ambien in their drinks (via WWLTV):
"According to police reports, Sharper allegedly raped the women after they blacked out from the effects of the drug."
They say where there's smoke, there's fire. If this many accusations come out in different places in the country, it makes for a pretty incriminating case against Sharper.
