Sharper, 39, was accused of raping two women after spiking their drinks at a Tempe, Arizona, apartment in November 2013. A grand jury in Maricopa County indicted him last March on two counts of sexual assault and three counts of administering dangerous drugs in connection the allegations. In an agreement with prosecutors to settle that case, he pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of sexual assault and one count of attempted sexual assault and was sentenced to nine years in prison, according to Jerry Cobb, a spokesman for the Maricopa County attorney.
