Four More Women Accuse Ex-NFL Player Marcellus Wiley of Sexual Assault
Four more women, including a former colleague, have accused former NFL player and ESPN analyst Marcellus Wiley of sexual assault.
Wiley faced his first accusations in November 2023. He dismissed them right away as "BS." Two more women came forward with allegations in March of last year.
New allegations surfaced in court filings last month. One came from a former ESPN production assistant. She said Wiley tricked her into visiting his hotel room in 2009 by claiming it was a work meeting.
"When we went to his room, Wiley excused himself to use the bathroom. He emerged from the bathroom naked. He pushed me up against the windows of the room so hard I thought they would shatter. I was petrified and believed I was going to be killed," the accuser wrote, via Awful Announcing.
"I repeatedly pleaded with him to stop and to let me go. He would not. He pushed me face down on the bed and kept me there with my face pressed into the mattress in such a way that I had difficulty breathing, which made me fear for my life. Wiley held me down and masturbated over me until he ejaculated. Only then did he allow me to leave the room. This assault was devastating to me and I live with the affects to this day. I will never truly escape from that room."
Another accuser said Wiley "raped me on my 18th birthday, after grooming me from the age of 13." A Buffalo native, she met Wiley during his time with the Bills. The alleged rape took place in Dallas while he played for the Cowboys.
Wiley responded to the recent allegations on his YouTube channel Tuesday.
"Pick a date, pick the encounter, pick the allegation. For every one of them, I either saw, communicated through email, text, phone, was invited by these individuals after these dates to engage, to be intimate, or all of the above, after the dates that are in question. It directly contradicts the narrative that they’re trying to present publicly," Wiley said.
"I got one straightforward question for all the accusers: Why did you continue to see or maintain friendly communication at a minimum, that can be verified, will be verified, with someone that you’re accusing after the alleged incidents?" he added.
Wiley said "so many records receipts...will be brought to show people you say one thing, but you did another." He called the allegations "blatant lies."
The new accusations raise Wiley's total number of accusers to seven.
