Opening statements are set to begin on Monday, Nov. 4, in the second rape trial of former NFL tight end Kellen Winslow II.
Winslow, 36, was previously convicted of raping a middle aged woman in Encinitas, California. He was also accused of 2 additional rapes and exposing himself to two other women.
Winslow was convicted in June of forcible rape and misdemeanor indecent exposure and lewd conduct. But the jurors deadlocked on other charges related to the alleged rape of a 54-year-old hitchhiker in Encinitas.
Jane Doe #5 accepted a ride from Winslow, who took her behind a shopping center and allegedly raped her. The woman initially identified Winslow’s attorney, who is also mixed race, as the man who raped her.
Winslow also allegedly raped a 17-year-old girl — Jane Doe 4 — in 2003 at a Scripps Ranch house party, according to ABC affiliate 10 News in San Diego.
Winslow, who is a married father of one, was acquitted of masturbating in front of Jane Doe 5 – a 77-year-old woman – at a Carlsbad, Calif. gym in February.
In his closing argument during the first trial, Deputy District Attorney Dan Owens told the jury that Winslow “took from these women what he wanted. Kellen Winslow took from these women again and again and again. This man took what he wanted from them and threw them away like trash because that’s what he thought of them.”
Winslow is the son of NFL Hall of Fame tight end Kellen Winslow, 61, who played his entire career with the San Diego Chargers.
