(Reuters) - Former New Orleans Saints All-Pro safety Darren Sharper was indicted Friday on rape charges, the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office said.

Sharper, a five-time Pro Bowler, was indicted on two counts of aggravated rape and one count of simple rape.

He is accused of sexually assaulting two women at his New Orleans apartment on Sept. 23, 2013.

Sharper, 39, is charged in Los Angeles and Arizona with rape and has been jailed in California since Feb. 27.

During a 14-year NFL career, Sharper played for three teams - the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans - and was part of the Saints' Super Bowl championship team for the 2009 season.

Sharper could face a life sentence without the possibility of parole if convicted of the charges.

If bill Cosby were smart...he would come out and say sharper raped him too

He deserves life If convicted. Hopefully he saves a bunk for that creep Cosby

its VERY difficult for me to believe someone who keeps something quiet for 20 years.

I also tend to not believe random rape accusations, because too many women use it as a way to get money out of rich people.

thats not to say it didnt happen...or that it doesnt happen. just seems like too many women are money grabbers crying wolf (or in this case, rape).

Many of the Cosby episodes were reported many years ago. It's funny how celebrities can get away with stuff for so long.
