The Philadelphia Eagles player, Josh Sills, was accused of sexual abuse and kidnapping this Wednesday and for this reason the NFL suspended him from all action a few days before the celebration of the Super Bowl in which his team will face the Kansas City Chiefs.
Upon learning of the charges for which Sills is being accused, the NFL placed him on the league’s exempt list, which means that the lineman will not be able to play, practice or travel with the Eagles until he solves his problems with justice.
Within the information released exclusively by TMZ Sports, the player allegedly forced a young woman to perform oral sex on him during an event that occurred in 2019.
According to documents obtained by the portal directly from the Guernsey County, Wyoming, police, Sills allegedly held the then-21-year-old woman captive in his truck, forcing her to have sex for at least “20 minutes.”
In the same way, the authorities disseminated the testimony of the victim in which she tells how Sill allegedly took her and threw her by the neck, groped her and forced her to have sex, all this while she asked him to stop.
Once Sills “did his thing”, the woman got out of the vehicle to go home but not before hearing that he said “you will talk to me again.”
Following the testimony, the police investigated the incident and ended up charging Sills with “felony rape” and “kidnapping charge.”
Now with the accusation, the Eagles announced that they are already aware of the situation and that they will not issue any further comments until the investigations are complete.
“The organization is aware of the legal matter involving Josh Sills. We have been in communication with the league office and are in the process of gathering more information. We have no further comment at this time,” they commented.
Sills is expected to appear at the first hearing on the charges on February 16, but in the meantime he will have to watch the Eagles’ Super Bowl performance from the outside on February 12 in Glendale, Arizona. .
