This arrest of Wiley, 51, comes after a recent Rolling Stone article, which cited allegations of sexual assault by four women in April 2026.

Wiley was also previously sued by three women for allegedly raping them while at Columbia, where he played college football. He denied those allegations on his podcast “More To It with Marcellus Wiley,” claiming to have evidence to prove what he called “alleged misrepresentations.”
Wiley had also called the allegations while at Columbia “BS.”
Wiley’s wife is Annemarie Wiley, who used to star on “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
The Rolling Stone article notes that two of the women who claim Wiley sexually assaulted them arrived between 1995 and 1999.

There was another woman who claimed that Wiley groomed her since she was 13 during his time playing for the Buffalo Bills. She then claims Wiley raped her when she was 18 in Dallas. She claims Wiley flew her out while playing for the Cowboys, according to Rolling Stone.
“Marcellus Wiley raped me when I turned 18, after grooming me since I was 13,” the victim wrote, adding that he referred to her as “little mommy.” “If Columbia had properly investigated the allegations… I would never have been groomed or raped.”
Additionally, a woman who used to be a production assistant at ESPN (Wiley has worked as an anchor for ESPN and FOX Sports) alleged that Wiley deceived her by meeting him in a hotel room for a work meeting in 2009. But she claims he sexually assaulted her during that time.
“The assault was devastating to me and I will live with the effects to this day,” the fourth woman wrote in a court filing, according to Rolling Stone.

Wiley was the 52nd overall pick in the 1997 NFL Draft out of Columbia and landed with the Bills, where he would play for his first four NFL seasons.
But Wiley earned his first and only Pro Bowl nod in 2001 with the San Diego Chargers, where he would star for three years. He also played with the Cowboys and the Jacksonville Jaguars before his playing career came to an end after the 2006 season.
