Saints News, 2/19/14: Arizona Police Report Details New Darren Sharper Rape Allegations

This is just the latest police report from now a third U.S. state alleging former Saints safety Darren Sharper drugged and sexually assaulted two women. Just last week, he had to appear in Los Angeles court to face similar charges and has been ordered to remain there until his Feb. 20 arraignment. Sharper was also alleged to have done the same to a New Orleans woman last year. In addition, we learned last week that he could face the same charges in Nevada. What the hell is wrong with this guy!?

In all, Sharper is accused of drugging 11 women and raping seven of them in four states, including a New Orleans woman who accused Sharper of raping her in a Warehouse District apartment Sept. 23. The Tempe police report narrates the initial investigation of an alleged assault Nov. 20, after Sharper went out drinking with at least two women in Scottsdale. The report said Sharper was an acquaintance of one of the women and that the group went out drinking to a club called The Mint and later at another location, American Junkie....
