“Marcellus Wiley raped me on my 18th birthday, after grooming me since I was 13 years old,” the victim wrote, adding that he called her ‘little mother.’ “If Columbia had followed up on the complaints properly… I would never have been trained and raped.”
Also, a woman who was a former production assistant at ESPN – Wiley has worked as a broadcaster for ESPN and FOX Sports – alleges that Wiley cheated on her by joining her in a hotel room at a work meeting in 2009. But she says h sexually assaulted her at that time.
“The assault was devastating to me, and I will live with the consequences to this day,” the fourth wrote in a court filing, per Rolling Stone.
