A former NBA player and actor was sentenced to 90 years to life in prison on Friday for a series of violent sexual assaults, some of which occurred in Los Angeles County, authorities said.
“During their investigation, detectives learned [that] in 2010, Byrd was convicted of sexual assault involving a different victim,” the LAPD release stated. “Detectives also discovered that Byrd had been arrested for sexually assaulting a young woman in Washington State in 2005.”
Byrd’s victims told investigators that he was “initially charming” before he subsequently forced them into a variety of sex acts.
“He started as a charmer, playing up his status as an athlete and pseudo-celebrity, but that quickly faded into rapes and violence,” said Detective Dara Brown, who served as the lead investigator on the case.
The 39-year-old was eventually found guilty and sentenced to 90 years to life in state prison for the violent sexual assaults that occurred in L.A. and Santa Clara counties on Friday.

Larry Bird is likely considering suing over this story. The author should have made it clear in the first few words of the piece that it wasn’t him.
If you click on the link his full name is in the second sentence. For whatever reason, the thread poster omitted it.
Byrd v Bird
““During their investigation, detectives learned [that] in 2010, Byrd was convicted of sexual assault involving a different victim,” the LAPD release stated.”
Sad, I always liked Larry Byrd.
Entitlement. Every woman wants them, so they are taught and think.
There was a white guy named that. That’s who I thought they were talking about at first.
Same here. I didn’t know whether they were talking about Larry Byrd or Surfin’ Byrd.
I read that a number of female porn actors over the years had a standard request list for appearing. No rough beatings. No anal, and no Ron Jeremy (nicknamed the sweaty hairy hedgehog). Nowadays there is stuff out there “mainstream” that is too sad and frightening to watch, even at deer camp or a lodge meeting. And so it goes....
Why did Bill Cosby drug all those women?
It’s not solely about sex, it’s also about power and humiliation.
All these men in sports and Hollywood have women throwing themselves at their feet but it’s the one’s who don’t offer themselves on a platter that they want and cannot have.
Went to the link, consider me not surprised.
Rashid Byrd (this story), not Larry Bird.
You might wanna at least skim the article B4 posting...
Or is he being railroaded. No idea, but I don’t take things on hearsay. I just don’t know.
I bet Byrd's fellow inmates will find him pretty and want to make him sqeeeeeel like a pig to the tune of "Dueling Banjos."
