Former NFL player Stedman Bailey was arrested for allegedly having sex with a woman at a mall arcade in Florida.
Bailey, 35, and Karina Manderson are accused of having intercourse at the bar inside Round1 in Pembroke Pines, Florida, just after midnight on July 27. Round1 is a bowling alley and arcade located inside the Pembroke Pines Mall.
According to the Pembroke Pines Police Department, officers responded to the bar after reports of two individuals having sex. When they arrived, police reviewed surveillance footage that allegedly showed Manderson “leaned over at the waist” with Bailey behind her.
When observers asked Bailey to stop, he allegedly pulled up his pants and the two individuals left the bar area.
Bailey and Manderson were eventually tracked down and spoke with police, both admitting to drinking multiple shots at the bar. According to the police report, Bailey admitted “they both had their pants down” and that he was exposing himself, but insisted “penetration never took place.”
Both Bailey and Manderson were arrested on July 27 and charged with a misdemeanor count of exposure of sexual organs. They both pleaded not guilty and were released after posting bail.
Us has reached out to attorneys for both Bailey and Manderson.
Following a college career at West Virginia, Bailey played three seasons in the NFL as a wide receiver for the St. Louis Rams from 2013 to 2015.
In November 2015, Bailey was shot multiple times, including twice in the head, while sitting in his car with family members in Miami Gardens.
Bailey was admitted to the hospital in critical condition and underwent successful emergency surgery.
At the time of the shooting, Bailey was serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. He never played in another game.
In an essay for Everytown for Gun Safety, Bailey reflected on the shooting and its aftermath.
“Even though I lost my football career, I consider myself a walking miracle,” he wrote. “I lived, and I don’t take my fate for granted. It is my calling to share my story and to encourage young people to make good life choices.”
Bailey added, “I’ve suffered with PTSD, depression, and seizures, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I gain strength from what I see and what I have done with my life since I was shot. I have a few people who I grew up with who lost their lives to gun violence – they don’t have a voice anymore. I speak for the people who are now voiceless, and I’m trying to help people make their lives better.”
