Joshua Sills, an offensive guard for the Philadelphia Eagles, has been indicted on rape and kidnapping charges for a 2019 incident in Guernsey County, Ohio, court documents show. The charges come just days before the team heads to the Super Bowl.
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Guernsey County Sheriff Jeffrey D. Paden announced the charges in a press release on Wednesday. Sills, 25, was indicted on one charge of rape and one charge of kidnapping, both first-degree felonies.
The indictment alleges that in December 2019, Sills forced the victim into unwanted sexual activity and held her against her will. Officials said the victim reported it immediately to the Guernsey County Sheriff's Office, which investigated the case before charges were brought.
