Former NFL safety Darren Sharper pleaded guilty to sexual assault and attempted sexual assault in Arizona and was sentenced to nine years in federal prison and lifetime probation as part of a "global resolution" to his case that includes at least nine women in four states accusing him of sexual assault.
The Los Angeles Times said he was also to enter a new plea in Los Angeles on Monday morning as part of his "global resolution" to his cases in which his sentences will run concurrently, the Times said. Sharper pleaded guilty in the Arizona case via video teleconference. Sharper has been in jail in Los Angeles since Feb. 27, 2014. The disgraced former All-Pro also has hearings in Las Vegas this week and New Orleans next month, the Associated Press said.
Sharper, who played with the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and was part of a New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl championship team, made five Pro Bowls and then worked with the NFL Network after he retired following the 2010 season. Sharper was accused of drugging and sexually assaulting women when they were unconscious.
