The former NFL safety, Darren Sharper, has been extradited to New Orleans, where he faces drug charges. Due to the drug charges being federal, the rape case is postponed until further notice. Sharper faces “three narcotics counts” due to drugging women then sexually assaulting them. Also, new allegations have surfaced, revealing MORE football players were in on the mix of drugging & raping women, as they “prepared a concoction called ‘horny juice'”! Read further details below….
In paperwork filed Monday, Magistrate Judge Michael North ordered that Sharper be brought to New Orleans by Feb. 23 to face his arraignment on three counts in which Sharper is accused of drugging women with an Ambien-like drug in order to knock them out and sexually assault them.
The extradition will put the federal case ahead of the separate state rape charges he faces in New Orleans, Tempe, Arizona and Los Angeles. Sharper will be transferred by U.S. Marshals from Los Angeles County Jail, where he has been held without bond since March 2014.
Sharper committed majority of the crimes with his accomplice, Brandon Licciardi, who had formerly been a St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Deputy!
Many expect the federal case to move much quicker than the rape cases have. In addition, there have been allegations that other NFL players were involved in drugging women to take advantage of them.
FBI agent Robert Blythe, who is heading up the case, also testified about getting information regarding a party in Las Vegas attended by Licciardi in which unnamed NFL players prepared a concoction called “horny juice” – champagne mixed with narcotics – to give to women in order to take advantage of them.
Blythe said the FBI has not pursued the tip, but would like to go down that path as the Sharper investigation unfolds.
If these allegations are indeed true, then 2015 is not looking any better for the NFL’s image than 2014 was. However, for now, the focus remains on Sharper.
