Darren Sharper: Pro Surfer Sues for Rape

Three women who say they were victimized by convicted rapist Darren Sharper have banded together to sue the ex-NFL star -- and one of the women is a pro surfer.

It appears that all 3 of the women were part of the criminal cases against Sharper -- 2 are from L.A., 1 is from Las Vegas.

In the suit, filed in L.A., all three women claim Sharper drugged them, caused them to lose consciousness and then assaulted them.

Two of the victims claim they were raped. The third says Sharper engaged in unwanted touching.

The women are all represented by Gloria Allred. The lawsuit doesn't specify how much cash they're looking for.
