In a move that will likely shave four years off the convicted sex offender’s prison sentence, former NFL tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. agreed to a plea deal last week in the rape or assault of three women.

Winslow, 37, is now facing a 14-year prison term in exchange for a guilty plea that was submitted on Friday, according to the Associated Press.

In 2019, Winslow was accused of raping or assaulting three women in California, including a 58-year-old unhoused woman, an unconscious teenager, and a hitchhiker.

Winslow, 36, was convicted in June of forcible rape and

Former Atlanta Falcons player Justin Kenyuno Crawford will face at least 12 years behind bars after he pleaded guilty to child molestation and sodomy charges as part of a plea deal, according to a new report.

Crawford, a 23-year-old father of three, agreed to a deal Tuesday in which prosecutors dropped three felony charges — including aggravated child molestation — that would have landed him 25 years to life in prison, the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reported.

Instead, Muscogee Superior Court Judge Gil McBride sentenced the former running back to
