NEW ORLEANS -- Former NFL star Darren Sharper was sentenced Thursday to more than 18 years in prison for drugging women in order to rape them -- double the sentence recommended by prosecutors.One of Sharpers victims -- the only one to speak at his sentencing hearing -- rebuffed his display of contrition.For the list of people youve done this to: Go to hell, she said. Her name was not given in court, and The Associated Press does not identify victims of sexual abuse by name.The former New Orleans Saints safety, jailed since February 2014, apologized and appeared chastened by his fall from grace.I would like to apologize a thousand times, the 40-year-old Sharper said. Later, he said, looking down and sighing, Im still trying to figure out why I made some of these choices.His voice quivered and choked with emotion when he apologized to his parents.U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo, in sentencing Sharper, told him she couldnt understand how he did what he did, since he was college educated and obviously had grown up in one of the most loving households.We can never ignore the damage you inflicted on those women and society at large, she said.Sharper had pleaded guilty in federal court in New Orleans to drugging three women so he could rape them. He also has pleaded guilty or no contest in state courts in Louisiana, Arizona, California and Nevada to charges arising from allegations of drugging and raping women.Defense attorney Billy Gibbens asked for leniency because Sharpers testimony helped get late guilty pleas from two codefendants who will be sentenced in October.Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael McMahon told the judge, I dont think Mr. Sharper has really wrapped his head around the fact that he is a serial rapist.Meanwhile, the tearful victim told Sharper that because of arrogance and clear stupidity, he kept drugging and raping women even after he knew she was talking to state and federal investigators.Within days ... you gave me ... and the entire judicial system in Louisiana the big middle finger because you thought we werent capable of stopping you, she said. You continued to rape other women in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas.She said she understands that people make mistakes. But it wasnt a mistake. A mistake happens once and you never make it again. Rather, she said, it was a way of life for you and your friends.Prosecutors suggested a 9-year prison term for Sharper under a multi-jurisdictional plea deal, but Milazzo rejected it in June as too lenient. The sentence she imposed, 18 years and four months imprisonment, was 15 months short of the maximum. Sharper also was fined $20,000. His sentence will run concurrently with any state sentence.The judge said he will be on three years supervised release after he gets out of prison, including sex treatment conditions and registration as a sex offender.Sharper or his friend Brandon Licciardi, a former sheriffs deputy in neighboring St. Bernard Parish, put anti-anxiety drugs or sedatives into womens drinks so they could rape them, according to a 15-page statement signed as part of Sharpers plea agreement.Milazzo has scheduled sentencing Oct. 13 for Licciardi and a second New Orleans codefendant, Erik Nunez.Charges around the country involve nine victims, but Milazzo has said in court that there may be as many as 16.Sharper was named All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times during a career that included stints with the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Packers as a rookie and one with New Orleans Saints when they won in 2010.He ended a 14-year career in 2011. He was working as an NFL network analyst when women began telling police in several cities similar stories of blacking out while drinking with him and waking up groggy to find they had been sexually abused.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Toto Wolff says Mercedes has a responsibility not to let team strategy calls influence the title battle between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg as the team chases victory at Sundays Mexican Grand Prix.The two Mercedes drivers will start on the front row of the grid on soft tyres but are likely to come under attack from the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo, which are both starting on the faster super-soft tyre and have showed impressive pace this weekend. Hamilton and Rosberg are likely to attempt one-stop strategies based on their decision to start on softs, while Verstappen and Ricciardo could go for an aggressive two-stop to put pressure on the two title protagonists.Wolff admitted the Mercedes pit wall could face a tough balance between wanting to beat Red Bull on Sunday and providing Hamilton and Rosberg an even strategic playing field to do battle on.Yes we have quite a big responsibility towards the two, he said. We want to win the race but sending them on two different strategies and not knowing which one is the right one can potentially have an outcome which needs an explanation.Weve had this in the past years that we will ask questions why did you send Driver BB on that strategy but it was clear that was the better one.dddddddddddd If we split the strategies it will be to win, and because we simply dont want to know which one is the better one. So to answer your question, there is responsibility and weight on our shoulders in trying to get it right and as balanced as possible.Despite the tyres performing in an unpredictable manner so far this weekend, Wolff has confidence in Mercedes strategists, who have rarely made a mistake this year.Weve seen situations where weve not been completely clear which tyre is going to last, how graining or blistering is going to happen and when and how much the tyres need management to take them further.We have had that all through the season and the same is tomorrow, the track temperatures have a big influence on the performance and behaviour of the tyre so that is pretty much one of the major variables of the race which you need to get right. It includes a lot of data, algorithms and common sense. Weve been ok so far with getting it right often, but there is no guarantee that it will be like this ever. ' ' '
