Sharper, a five-time Pro Bowler, was indicted on two counts
of aggravated rape and one count of simple rape.
He is accused of sexually assaulting two women at his New
Orleans apartment on Sept. 23, 2013.
Sharper, 39, is charged in Los Angeles and Arizona with rape and
has been jailed in California since Feb. 27.
During a 14-year NFL career, Sharper played for three teams -
the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans -
and was part of the Saints' Super Bowl championship team for the
2009 season.
Sharper could face a life sentence without the possibility of
parole if convicted of the charges.
Erik Nunez and Brandon Licciardi, alleged accomplices of
Sharper, were also indicted by the grand jury.
