..."Former National Football League star Darren Sharper was sentenced on Thursday to 18 years in federal prison in a case stemming from accusations that he drugged and raped women in four states while working as a television analyst.

He also pleaded guilty or no contest last year to rape or attempted rape charges involving nine women, including in Arizona, California and Nevada."...

As far as I understand with these federal cases, he could be out in 2029 because there is no parole in such cases...only time off the sentence if you're a good boy. I guess that's the math. That's a long time, but probably not long enough. 9 years was definitely ridiculous.

I'm sure he'll be protected in there because the case is high profile...people like to bring up the "Bubba in the shower" scenarios, but I don't think that'll happen here. So he'll probably get out when he's about 54 with money in the bank. Meanwhile, he gets what he gets. **** him.
