Earlier this year, Darren Sharper was accused of drugging and sexually assaulting several women in New Orleans in 2013. Earlier today, the former NFL player was formally indicted on two counts of aggravated rape and one count of simple rape in the state of Louisiana, which are charges that could put Sharper behind bars for the rest of his life.

Sharper—who has been in jail in California since February after allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting women there as well—is facing similar charges in Las Vegas. Two of his acquaintances, Brandon Licciardi and Erik Nunez, have also been hit with aggravated rape charges in New Orleans and could face life in jail, too.

Stay tuned to see what happens next with regards to Sharper's legal situation.
