Former NFL tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was arrested Thursday afternoon in San Diego on nine criminal charges, according to TMZ Sports.
"A warrant was issued this morning for Kellen Winslow Jr.’s arrest and he was taken into custody by San Diego Sheriff’s Deputies Thursday afternoon," the San Diego district attorney told TMZ.
Winslow faces two charges of kidnapping with intent to commit rape, two counts of forcible rape, single counts of forcible sodomy, forcible oral copulation, indecent exposure, and two counts of residential burglary.
If convicted on all charges, Winslow faces life in prison.
The 34-year-old is being booked into custody at a county jail in San Diego and a search warrant has been executed for his home.
He is due to be arraigned in court Friday, according to Teri Figueroa of The San Diego Union-Tribune.
The Cleveland Browns selected Winslow sixth overall in 2004. He played nine NFL seasons and last featured in 12 games for the New York Jets in 2013.
