Kellen Winslow Jr. — once a talented but volatile NFL tight end who now faces life in prison for allegedly raping three elderly women — has been thrown back in jail after he allegedly committed new acts of sexual deviance against a 77-year old woman.
Winslow, 35, the son of Hall of Fame NFL tight end Kellen Winslow Sr., was free on $2 million bail he posted last summer stemming from the aforementioned charges of sexually assaulting women in their 70s and 80s.
If Winslow is convicted on all counts, he faces the real possibility of never leaving prison alive.
According to TMZ, the prosecutor’s office in San Diego County accused Winslow of failing to abide by strict terms of personal comportment set in his bail and now prosecutors claim he committed more sexual impropriety just last month.
Winslow was reportedly working out on Feb. 13, 2019, at a gym near San Diego — the city where Winslow’s father became a legend and his name is gold — when Winslow Jr. allegedly began touching himself and asking a nearby elderly woman “if she liked it.”
He might have gotten away with it had he not allegedly committed the same act on the same elderly woman the following week, TMZ reports. The woman claims she was in a hot tub at the same gym when Winslow started rubbing his genitals in front of her. This time, the woman immediately fled from the tub and reported Winslow.
Before she got away from Winslow, she says he was able to reach out and touch her arm and foot.
For this latest alleged transgression, Winslow was formally charged with two counts of lewd conduct, one count of battery of an elder and one count of willful cruelty to an elder.
This time, the judge did not allow Winslow to post bail after he was arrested. He will appear before a judge sometime on Tuesday, the entertainment publication reports.
Football fans remember Winslow when he first came to national fame as a fiery collegiate star at the University of Miami. He was a spitting image of his father, both in looks and playing capabilities — minus the volatile disposition — and he earned unanimous All-American honors as the nation’s best tight end. Winslow was drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the sixth overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. While Winslow did get to the NFL Pro Bowl once (the equivalent of All-Star status in the NBA and MLB) in 2017 and played for 11 years overall, he is considered a bust because he never came close to becoming the all-time great talent that he was projected to be.
