Winslow Jr. pleads not guilty to charges

-

Former Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was jailed without bail after pleading not guilty to multiple counts of kidnapping, rape and other charges. The 34-year-old Winslow was ordered to return to San Diego County Superior Court on June 25 for a preliminar­y hearing. If convicted, Winslow could face a maximum sentence of life in prison. Prosecutor­s say Winslow began a crime spree last March that included rapes, kidnapping­s, indecent exposure and burglary and continued until just before his arrest this week.

In 54 career NFL games, 42 as a starter, he has caught 161 passes for 1,890 yards and eight touchdowns for the Browns (2011-13) and Cincinnati (2014).
