Ex-NFL star Sharper sentenced to 20 years in drugging rapes

Former NFL star Darren Sharper was sentenced Tuesday a 20-year prison term, ending a tour of shame and punishment in the courthouse where he first admitted drugging and raping women in four states.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor denounced Sharper's "horrible conduct" and "disgraceful abuse of trust" during the hearing that concluded prosecutions that unmasked the popular former all-pro safety and Super Bowl champ as a serial rapist.

Under the terms of a plea deal negotiated with prosecutors in four states, Sharper will be eligible for parole in about eight years because California law requires he serve half his sentence and he has already been behind bars more than two years since his arrest.

But he will probably serve more time if an appeals court upholds an 18-year prison sentence handed down by a New Orleans federal judge who rejected the deal as too lenient. Sharper has appealed that harsher sentence.

1. POS

He got off easy. His sentence is in no way comparable to the damage he caused. He is scum of the mother fucking earth. Makes me sick. 20 years is a drop in the bucket but at least women will be spared further victimization from him. He only has to serve a minimum of 13 years of the sentence. If someone decided to do something to him, I wouldn't shed a tear. He is a waste of space. It's this vile and disgusting evil that should not be let out.

2. Sad thing is, most of these men in the entertainment biz do this and get away with it

IF you lift up the rock, you will see the slime ooze out. I work in The Biz. Any woman that wants to be part of it or near it at all needs to prepare herself for a huge amount of disgusting shit from disgusting men for the rest of her life.

Women in the Biz and women that hang around people in entertainment serve three functions: Make worthless men money, give worthless men release privately in some of the most disgusting, perverted manners possible. . .make disgusting men feel good about themselves because they are "scoring" with some of the hottest women on the planet.

And each of these men know they will get them all sooner or later, be it legitimately or with the use of substances Sharper used. It doesn't matter. Or, as I was told by a record producer friend: "In the business, there is no underage."

Wrap your mind around that the next time you watch a show designed for children staring a pretty 14 year old actress that your kid looks up to and wants to be like.

3. "Most men?" That sounds like an exaggeration, to say the least.

On what do you base your claim?
