Schwack: Jan 31, 2003; Someone needs to stop this! Sherman has lost his mind! Peyton is completely unable to defend himself out there!

There isn't a lot out yet, but it's kind of big news. Even though he's retired, he was a fairly big name and these are some pretty serious charges. Basically, among other things, he's charged with drugging two women and then raping them. Here is the story from NOLA.com:

NOLA.com posted:

Former Saints star safety Darren Sharper was charged Friday with drugging and raping two women in Los Angeles, once in October and once in January, according to a complaint filed by the L.A. district attorney's office.

In both incidents Sharper is accused of following a similar pattern of raping women whom he had invited to his hotel room, and given them given alcoholic shots containing Ambien and morphine, causing them to pass out, prosecutors said.

Sharper is currently being investigated in a rape case in New Orleans, and the complaint revealed that he is also being investigated for rapes in Arizona and Nevada.

L.A. prosecutors allege Sharper met two women at a West Hollywood nightclub on Oct. 30, 2013 and invited them to another party. On the way, Sharper told the women he had to stop by his hotel room to pick up something and invited both women up to his room, according to the allegations.

There, he gave each woman a shot, and both women subsequently passed out, prosecutors say. One woman told investigators she woke up naked hours later with Sharper sexually assaulting her. The second woman then woke up and "interrupted his actions," according to prosecutors.

On Jan. 14, Sharper met two separate woman at the same West Hollywood nightclub and invited them to a party. Stopping at his hotel, he invited both up to his room, offered them a shot and each passed out, prosecutors allege.

When they woke up hours later the next day, one of the women told authorities she believed she had been sexually assaulted. Both women left the hotel and sought medical treatment, authorities said.

Sharper is accused of possessing morphine and zolpidem, commonly known as Ambien. Prosecutors charged Sharper with two counts of rape by use of drugs, four counts of furnishing a controlled substance and one count of possession of a controlled substance, all felonies.

Assuming he's convicted, he'll be going to prison for quite some time. I'm sure more will be forthcoming, but this was the first non-TMZ source I could find.

Darren Sharper hold my dick, indeed.

edit: GOD. I haven't made a thread in years. Could a mod please change the stupid icon?

Really though. Ambien and Morphine. Jesus christ.

You could sell those make a mint, and then just order some prostitutes.

There is something especially hosed up about serial rapists. I hope Sharper enjoys spending the rest of his life in prison.

Edit: Oh hell, I missed that line in the first report.

Well, to make this more useful:

He was arrested and released on bail last month. Not sure why we didn't hear about this then. Since that time, allegations in other states popped up and prosecutors are trying to raise his bail to $10 million to keep him in jail.

It hasn't been in the media outside of New Orleans all that much, but here's to hoping he rots in prison if these charges are true.

How immediate was it? Did they use one of those big hooks?

Also, pretty funny that ESPN is falling over themselves to report on this case as opposed to some other rape charges that they consciously did not report on.

I mean as soon as this story broke on some kid's myspace post however long back, he was done making appearances. Although it would've been better if mid-air the story broke and they did get a comical hook and yank him off set.

I find it confusing if you love yourself as much as the "pick magnet" intro infers, why would you resort to roofie'ing up a bunch of strangers?
