If you believe Darren Sharper is guilty, one of the strongest pieces of evidence is that multiple women in multiple states have more or less the same story about him drugging them, but none of the women know each other.
Could it all be a coincidence? Maybe, but you can’t ignore that all these women came forward at the same time. Sharper’s defense will most likely be these were all consensual sexual partners, but the LA DA wants to bring in all the women to show that Sharper used the same methods on all of them during the alleged sexual assault.
TMZ goes over the DA’s strategy.
The L.A. County D.A. wants to show the jury all these women — most of whom never met — have stories that line up with the rape and drug allegations.
The accusers could get to know each other pretty well, because we’ve also learned the D.A. in New Orleans plans to use the same tactic if they file rape charges.
Officials in NV and FL are also noodling over rape allegations against Sharper in their states.
There are 9 total accusers who could potentially be put on the stand and that would be very hard for Darren Sharper’s defense team to overcome.
