Former All-Pro safety Darren Sharper, who is facing charged that he drugged and raped two women, is scheduled to appear in a California court on Feb. 17.

Sharper has been in custody in Los Angeles County since last February. He is being held without bond.

The 39-year-old Sharper also faces extradition to Louisiana where he faces additional charges of drugging and raping two women in New Orleans.

According to the Times-Picayune, a U.S. District Court judge last month ordered Los Angeles officials to hand over Sharper to federal officials in time for a Feb. 23 arraignment.

Sharper is expected to remain in California until his preliminary hearing on Feb. 17. He then will be handed over to federal officials and extradited to Louisiana.

He also faces charges of rape in Arizona.

If he is found guilty in New Orleans, Sharper could get a life sentence in prison, the harshest penalty he faces in any of the three states, the Times-Picayune reported.
