LAS VEGAS (AP) Rape charges have been filed in Las Vegas against former NFL safety Darren Sharper, who already faces sexual assault charges in Los Angeles, New Orleans and the Phoenix area.
Sharper's Las Vegas attorney, David Chesnoff, appeared Friday before a Las Vegas judge on two sexual assault charges stemming from allegations that he forced sex on two women in January 2014 while they were incapable of resisting. Details of the Las Vegas allegations weren't immediately available.
Chesnoff declined to comment on the charges but said Justice of the Peace Janiece Marshall set another court hearing for April 3. Each count carries a possible sentence of 10 years to life in Nevada state prison.
Sharper, 39, is sought on a warrant in Las Vegas. But he has been jailed since Feb. 27 in Los Angeles, where he was due for a preliminary hearing Friday after pleading not guilty to drugging and raping two women in 2013.

(29,348 posts)Counts as a guilty conviction but doesn't always mean guilty but for the same reasons if he was guilty--less likely to fight the charge than an innocent person would & more worrying about the "possible sentences" because I do think he was very likely guilty of his Arizona charges as well as the others -- either guilty or the worst concentrated "wrong place at the wrong time" luck of all-time.
I remember his attorney from Texas described Durst as the unluckiest man out there and he'd have to be if he wasn't responsible for all these people dying around him but the episode that aired after he was arrested which the significant thing caught on a "hot mike" wasn't the first time & was made aware of what he was saying to himself was still being recorded.
The episode before the "I killed them all", he was asked something at-the-end of the last episode where he says if I thought about it more or did this interview again, I could give a better answer. The person interviewing him then asked, "Do you want to take a break & looked to the others, "lets take a break" immediately following I think I overheard someone complaining about sandwiches but he started practicing to himself, "I didn't knowingly purposeless lie" all this was rolling his lawyer went up there to let him know which he explained what he was doing in response to heads up but was unnecessary to explain since it was recorded. The episode ended there, I didn't see no question after the break so all you saw was him practicing his answer.
The next episode, Robert Durst didn't want to do any more interviews didn't want to keep it going, said the Durst interest but the team wanted to do an interview very badly. This episode was like a documentary of a documentary, a lot of phone calls, a lot of table sitting, an inside look at the people producing the documentary. The reason why there was a letter from Durst himself that looked very similar to the "Cadaver letter", I don't think Durst knew this as this came across as new when they showed the 2 envelopes to people long-time interested in prosecution of Durst over Kathie Durst & Susan Berman, the letter specifically relates to her. Both misspelling of Beverly (Beverely Hills on both envelopes)-- Durst points all this out when asked "what do you see about the letters" and mentions I can see "why" the cops would reach those type of conclusions but you could visibly tell his body go in a panic momentarily but the only thing he disputing was he wrote that envelope with his name but "Not the Cadaver letter". Then two strips of Beverely Hills, were presented as photograph and asked which one he wrote, he said he couldn't tell & didn't try to guess. which ended at that point. He announced he was going to the bathroom, the camera is still rolling in the office, the lights are off but you hear him unzipping saying "You're caught" or was more third person at first before the "What did I do? I killed them all of course" her the sink water, towels being used, etc. I think he was unaware or didn't think of the mic still attached to him.
Probably unethical to leaving the mikes on while the lights are turned off & the interview he initially didn't want do was made possible because he was booked for cameras recording him in front of his family's property, video tape proof of violation of a restraining order. The Durst documentary team contacted him agreed to help Durst with the trespassing thing but I saw it coming... the pauses & hesitation before asking of a favor for the favor. In how that relates to Durst, judges either allow something or don't in court but forgetting the mike was still on immediately following being presented with evidence that strongly implicates him because either the killer or someone who spotted the dead body wrote the Cadaver letter. At-best he can argue it was a joke or he knew the mike was still on which being caught two times makes the "knew the mic was on" a solid case but I don't think he did given the letters questions, the Cadaver letter is very incriminating because whoever wrote it knew Susan Berman was killed or either the killer or someone who spotted the body. He wasn't expressing outrage or worrying or afraid that someone is out there -- the real killer -- is out there that tried to set him up by copying his handwriting.
I forgot this was a Darren Sharper thread I'm very open to what is possible given the cold reality checks that exist. Durst came to mind a lot recently & the bathroom stall confession confirmed not just Susan Berman but the "killed them all". He had two books on him at New Orleans that were about the mysterious disappearance of Kathie Durst. Doesn't prove anything but suggests he had an interest & the titles of the books implies that they point the finger at Durst as the "real killer" so more likely an interest in what they know or evidence used. He wasn't prepared for the "Cadaver letter" question much like the "break".
