VISTA, Calif. - Former Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow II pleaded not guilty Friday to kidnapping, rape, sodomy and residential burglary charges in San Diego County, California.
Winslow has been charged with two counts of kidnapping with the intent to commit rape, two counts of forcible rape, one count of forcible sodomy, one count of forcible oral copulation, two counts of residential burglary and one count of indecent exposure. A judge ordered him held without bail.
The charges come less than a week after Winslow was arrested in connection with a residential burglary in a San Diego-area trailer park.
Specifically, the 34-year-old Winslow is accused of kidnapping and raping a 54-year-old woman in March and a 59-year-old woman in May. In addition, police also believe Winslow burglarized two homes that each respectively belonged to a 71 and 86-year-old woman, with an intent to rape them.
Lt. Michael Blevins of the San Diego Sheriff's Office told NBC San Diego that there were multiple victims associated with the new charges but would not say how many. Blevins said the alleged incidents happened in the Encinitas area, but not in the Park Encinitas mobile home park where Winslow was arrested last week.
Winslow was due for arraignment on Thursday on a felony count of first-degree burglary following the first arrest. His new arraignment date is set for Friday.
The son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Kellen Sr., Winslow was the sixth overall pick by the Browns in the 2004 NFL Draft and played five seasons in Cleveland, including a Pro Bowl campaign in 2007 that saw him catch 82 passes for 1,106 yards and five touchdowns. He also spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New England Patriots, and New York Jets.
However, his tenure with the Browns was also plagued by injuries (including a motorcycle accident that cost him the entire 2005 season) and attitude problems, along with never-ending questions of "What if?" after the Pittsburgh Steelers took quarterback Ben Roethlisberger five spots behind Winslow in the same draft. After a 2008 season that saw Winslow vocally blast then-general manager Phil Savage and the Browns organization, he was traded to Tampa Bay for two draft picks.
Winslow is scheduled to be back in court June 25 for a preliminary hearing. He faces up to life in prison, if convicted.
