Former OSU and current Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Josh Sills has been indicted by a Guernsey County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court grand jury on one count of kidnapping and one count of rape, both of which are felonies.

According to the indictment from the Attorney General’s Office, “In December 2019, the indictment says, Sills engaged in sexual activity that was not consensual and held a victim against her will. The crime was immediately reported, and the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office conducted a detailed investigation.

“The case was presented to the grand jury and is being prosecuted by the Special Prosecutions Section of the Attorney General’s Office. Sills was issued a summons to appear in Guernsey County Common Pleas Court at 1 p.m. on Feb. 16.”

In talking to an attorney that is familiar with the case, he told Pokes Report that it was dropped after the initial investigation for lack of evidence. Apparently something new came to light as this time the Guernsey County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court grand jury came down with the indictments.

Not good, not good at all! I am amazed this flew under the radar, especially when talking about the NFL that is usually up there with the FBI on digging up anything like this!!!

This seems a little fishy. The Ohio justice system must be worse than Oklahoma's.

If the NFL was clueless with all of their layers, I'd be shocked to find out that the staff knew anything. Especially Coach Gundy.

Looks like Sills might have been looking to distance himself from this issue when he transferred to OSU.

I thought it odd that the NFL missed it, but if the case had been dropped, and just now revived it makes sense that it didn't affect him getting in the NFL. The NFL may have found the charges filed and dropped, and so they didn't flag him as there was no reason to.

I agree that might have been why he made the move.
