Sharper — one of the most celebrated athletes in William & Mary history — has been convicted of sexual assault charges in three states — after he was charged with drugging women with the intention of raping them.
William & Mary Athletics Director Terry Driscoll released this statement:
“After a period of thoughtful deliberation, the decision has been made to remove Darren Sharper from the William & Mary Athletics Hall of Fame. We view induction into this group as the highest individual honor for a former William & Mary athlete, and criteria for selection include both athletic excellence and citizenship. In light of Darren’s recent guilty plea, we decided his removal was the right course of action.”
