Josh Sills Wiki, Biography
Eagles rookie offensive lineman Josh Sills was indicted on rape and kidnapping charges in his native Ohio this week. Prosecutors said 25-year-old Sills “engaged in sexual conduct” with a victim and “deliberately compelled her to submit by force or threat of force” in an alleged incident that occurred in Guernsey County on 5 December 2019.
The Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation into the case and a grand jury indicted Sills on felony rape and felony kidnapping this week.
“In December 2019, the indictment says, Sills engaged in non-consensual sexual activity and held a victim against his will. The crime was immediately reported and a detailed investigation was conducted by the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office,” the Ohio attorney general said in a news release.
Sills will appear in court on February 16, four days after the Eagles and Chiefs meet at Arizona’s State Farm Stadium in Super Bowl 2023 on February 12.
“The organization is aware of the legal matter involving Josh Sills,” the Eagles said in a statement. “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.”
The rookie guard appeared in a regular-season game for Philadelphia against the Cardinals on Oct. 9, playing four snaps on special teams. The Eagles won that game 20-17.
Sills, who turned 25 on Thursday, attended both West Virginia and Oklahoma State during his college career. He joined the Eagles before the 2022 season as an undrafted free agent. The Eagles advanced to the Super Bowl with a 31-7 victory over the 49ers in the NFC Championship game on Sunday.
