During his two years in Cleveland, Richardson, 30, appeared in all 32 regular-season games, earning 126 tackles and 7.5 defensive snaps on 1,574 defensive snaps. He should be able to find a starter defensive tackle position with another team. Richardson made three tackles and one pass defense in the Chiefs' 22-17 playoff loss on Sunday. Sheldon Richardson was born on January 4, 1984, in Hartford, Connecticut. His mother's name is Rita Richardson and his father's name is James Richardson. He has two siblings: a brother named James Jr and a sister named Dominique. His family moved to North Carolina when he was still a young child so that his father could work as a security guard. When he was 10 years old, the family moved back to Hartford where he grew up. He attended Saint Francis High School before going to college at Wisconsin. On November 11, 2007, Sheldon Richardson committed sexual assault against a woman who was sleeping over at his apartment. The woman told police that she had been drinking with several other people at Richardson's apartment before passing out. When she woke up, she found her pants down around her ankles and her shirt pulled up over her head. She said no words were spoken during the attack. After this incident, Richardson dropped out of school and never returned. He was charged with first-degree sexual assault but after several months in prison, the charge was reduced to third-degree sexual assault. He served half of his one-year sentence and was released in May 2009.
