Former ESPN personality Marcellus Wiley sees domestic violence charges dropped
The State of Florida will not file domestic battery charges against former NFL player and ESPN personality Marcellus Wiley.
Former ESPN media personality and NFL player Marcellus Wiley will not face domestic battery charges stemming from an incident at a Florida hotel, where he allegedly threatened his wife. The State of Florida decided not to file charges in Wiley's case after testimonial evidence was insufficient to support a conviction. This decision came on August 10 and allowed Wiley to have his bond released.
Wiley was initially arrested on July 4 and booked into Orange County jail, being released the following day on a $1,000 bond. A no-contact order prevented him from being within 500 feet of his wife. In a social media post on July 6, Wiley denied the allegations and stated that he would address the matter through the legal process.
Annemarie Wiley, the wife, accused Wiley of physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, and financial abuse, as well as rape, and requested custody of their three children.
