Accused serial rapist and ex-NFL star Darren Sharper is going to need all the cash flow he can get.
The former pro bowl safety is suing his former employer, the New Orleans Saints for an unpaid workers comp claim according to Nola.
Darren Sharper is taking legal aim at the New Orleans Saints from his California jail cell, pressing on with a previously denied workers compensation claim that his former employer owes him more than $95,000 because of a November 2009 knee injury he says shortened his career.
Sharper will try this week to overturn a judge’s ruling that found he waited too long to file his injury claim and failed to prove subsequent injuries the former safety says brought a premature end to his playing days. Sharper retired as an NFL player in November 2011, about two years before he was charged with drugging and raping women in California and Arizona, and being accused of similar crimes still under investigation in New Orleans and Las Vegas.
A three-judge panel of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeal is scheduled to hear oral arguments regarding the case. Sharper is scheduled to have hearings in his L.A. rape case start on Wednesday.
