Former Packer faces rape charges

NEW ORLEANS - A federal grand jury has added drug charges to the state rape charges facing former New Orleans Saints safety Darren Sharper.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in New Orleans announced Friday that Sharper now faces charges that he and a co-defendant "Brandon Licciardi" distributed three illegal drugs "with intent to commit rape."

The federal charges were announced hours after a New Orleans grand jury indicted Sharper, Licciardi and a third man on rape charges.
