Four more women, including a former colleague, have accused former NFL player and ESPN analyst Marcellus Wiley of sexual assault.
Wiley was not charged until November 2023, but immediately called these claims “BS”. Two more women then came forward with new allegations in March last year.
But new allegations were filed in court last month, including from a former ESPN production assistant who said Wiley tricked the employee into thinking they were having a work meeting so she could enter his hotel room in 2009.

“When we went into his room, Wiley excused himself to use the bathroom. He came out of the bathroom naked. He pushed me up against the windows in the room so hard I thought they were going to break. I was petrified and thought I was going to be killed,” the prosecutor wrote via Awful Announcing.
“I begged him repeatedly to stop and let me go. He wouldn’t. He pushed me face down on the bed and held me there with my face pressed into the mattress in such a way that it was difficult for me to breathe, which made me fear for my life. Wiley held me down and masturbated over me until he ejaculated. Only then did he let me leave the assault and it was devastating to me. [sic] to this day. I never really want to escape that room.”
Another accuser said Wiley “raped me on my 18th birthday after grooming me from the age of 13.” Prosecutors said she, a Buffalo native, and Wiley met during his time with the Bills, and the alleged rape occurred in Dallas while he was playing for the Cowboys.

Wiley addressed the latest allegations on his YouTube channel on Tuesday.
“Pick a date, pick the meeting, pick the allegation. For every one of them, I’ve either seen, communicated via email, text, phone, been invited by these people after those dates to engage, be intimate, or all of the above, after those dates. It directly contradicts the narrative that they’re trying to present publicly,” Wiley said.
“I was asked a straightforward question to all the accusers: Why did you continue to see or maintain friendly communication as a minimum that can be verified, will be verified, with anyone you accuse after the alleged incidents?” he added.

Wiley said “so many receipts… will be brought to show people that you say one thing but you did another” and the allegations were “blatant lies.”
The new charges bring Wiley’s charges to seven in total.
