Wife of Kellen Winslow Jr. files for divorce months after ex-footballer's rape conviction

The wife of former New York Jet Kellen Winslow Jr. has filed for divorce months after the former footballer was convicted of rape.






Janelle Winslow, who has been married to the ex-NFL tight end for 13 years and has two children with him, filed on Aug. 30 in San Diego, according to records.






This comes after the 36-year-old former footballer was in June found guilty of the May 2018 rape of a 58-year-old homeless woman he befriended in Encinitas. Winslow was also convicted of indecent exposure and lewd conduct for incidents involving two other women.






The jury was deadlocked on eight other charges, including rape and kidnapping in connection with two other women.






According to 10news, prosecutors have moved forward with a second trial against Winslow, set for Sept. 30.






If convicted of those eight charges, Winslow faces up to life in prison.
