WRENTHAM, Mass. (AP) -A former NFL player and high school football coach was charged with raping a female student whose father allegedly found hundreds of text messages she received from the man.
Danny Villa, who played with the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals, was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Wrentham District Court on three counts of rape of a child over 14 and three counts of enticing a minor.
Villa surrendered to authorities in Arizona on Saturday, then posted bail and traveled to Massachusetts early Tuesday. He was arrested when he arrived in Boston.
