3 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Jun 9

Summary

  • Sharper, 50, was transferred on May 27 from a federal prison near Elkton, Ohio, to community confinement overseen from Baltimore, the Bureau of Prisons said.
  • The move means he is either in home confinement or a residential re-entry center, a step that typically signals a federal sentence is nearing completion.
  • Sharper is listed for release on Dec. 27, 2028, after receiving an 18-year sentence in 2016 with credit for time served since his 2014 arrest.
  • The former NFL star pleaded guilty or no contest in multiple states to drugging and raping or attempting to rape numerous women, and a judge last August denied his bid for an earlier release.
