Former Patriots Player Danny Villa Wanted For Rape

 

44-year-old former New England Patriots player and high school football coach Danny Villa has a warrent issued for his arrest on for three counts of rape of a child over 14 and three counts of enticing a minor.

Villa had been working as a football coach at Walpole High School. He resigned Tuesday, hours after the school superintendent confronted him over allegations of criminal misconduct filed by a parent a day earlier.

Villa led one of the most successful high school football programs in the state, capping an undefeated season with a championship earlier this month.

Villa played in the NFL for 12 seasons, including six with the Patriots.
