>>CA v. WINSLOW II: FULL TRIAL ON-DEMAND
In June 2019, Winslow II was convicted of forcible rape of a homeless woman, indecent exposure and lewd conduct after five Jane Does took the stand, accusing him of sexual acts against them.
His convictions were in relation to Jane Does #2, #3 and #5. Jane Doe #2, a homeless woman, gave an emotional and graphic testimony accusing Winslow II of raping her in 2018. Jane Doe #3, a neighbor, accused him of exposing himself to her in her yard. Jane Doe #5 accused Winslow II of fondling himself and masturbating in front of her at a gym just three months before his trial began.

Judge Blaine Bowman declared a mistrial on eight charges after a deadlocked jury failed to reach a verdict. At least three Jane Does from Winslow II’s first trial will take the stand. Jane Doe #1, a hitchhiker, will testify again about her accusations that the defendant raped her in 2018. Jane Doe #2, who Winslow II was convicted of raping, will testify regarding a sodomy charge. Jane Doe #4 will again testify her allegations that Winslow II raped her in 2003 while she was in high school. Winslow II was initially facing a retrial on eight charges, however, Judge Bowman severed two misdemeanor charges against the defendant regarding Jane Doe #5: willful battery of an elder and battery against an elder. Winslow II is facing life in prison.
