Not too long ago, an accusation like that would have sent a man into retreat or contrition mode.

But Sharpe didn’t issue a denial or apologize or crawl under a rock. Instead, he went scorched earth on his ex-paramour, who filed the lawsuit as Jane Doe.

His attorney Lanny J. Davis not only publicly named the woman, he released a trove of raunchy texts she had sent Sharpe — requesting various types of kinky and rough sex acts.

In a statement, Davis said the texts “clearly indicate the nature of their relationship was consensual and sexual in nature — and, in many cases, initiated by her with specific and graphic requests” that included “role-playing, sexual language and fantasy scenarios.”
