Kellen Winslow accused multiple sex crimes and rape charges
Former NFL tight end Kellen Winslow will stand trial this week on two counts kidnapping with intent to commit rape, two counts forcible rape, two counts residential burglary, one count forcible oral copulation, one count forcible sodomy and one count indecent exposure, according to Yahoo Sports.
Winslow, 35, faces a cumulative sentence that would put him away for life.
In addition to charges that he raped two homeless women in Encinitas last year, Winslow has also been accused raping an unconscious 17-year old girl back in 2003, when Winslow was 19. Winslow pleaded not guilty to all those charges last year, but while he was out on $2 million bail he was arrested again for lewd conduct.
In that incident, which took place earlier this year, Winslow is accused touching himself in front a 77-year-old woman at a gym and asking if she liked it, according to a report by Teri Figueroa the San Diego Union-Tribune. Additionally, the disturbing report states that Winslow also touched the woman’s arm and foot while they were in a hot tub at the gym nine days after the first incident. He has been locked up ever since then.
Yahoo Sports’ Dan Wetzel reports that Winslow’s defense could focus on mental illness.
