The former NFL player was found guilty raping a homeless woman by San Diego County jurors.
Kellen Winslow II’s conviction is hard not to grimace at. San Diego County jury, albeit a conflicted one, has found the ex-NFL player guilty rape, lewd conduct, and indecent exposure. After consulting with the judge presiding over Windlow’s fate, decided to forego the six other felonies that remained at an impasse when the initial verdict was read aloud. Bear in mind, the jury did agree to re-open the deadlocked charges at a later time, if so requested.

Given that 6 12 felony counts were left ajar, Kellen Winslow II stands a good chance avoiding a life sentence. Today’s hearing renders the ex-footballer a convicted rapist by decree. His sentencing is scheduled for a hearing at a later date. For now, Winslow faces somewhere in the range 3-8 years in prison, as a lifetime status fender made irrevocable by congressional measures taken in 1994.
The 58-year old homeless woman isn’t the only accuser he came forward during the 2-week trial process. Several the Jane Doe’s who were brave enough to testify against the maligned footballer, say he threatened to kill them at different stages the ordeal(s). For the record, Winslow wasn’t accused misconduct, but something far more grievous in the eyes the penal system – as the violent ordeals involved him picking up strangers and hitchhikers in a predatory fashion.
