Overview
- Four civil filings in April 2026 added new accusations to three earlier suits, bringing seven named accusers who allege assaults spanning the 1990s through 2009.
- Wiley responded on his YouTube show by disputing the accounts and saying he has communications that contradict them, though he did not present records during the broadcast.
- One new filing comes from a former ESPN production assistant who says Wiley lured her to a hotel room for a supposed work meeting in 2009 and then assaulted her.
- Other filings describe two alleged rapes in California between 1995 and 1999, including one reported to the LAPD that did not lead to charges, and a separate claim that he groomed a girl from age 13 before an assault at 18.
- Plaintiffs are asking a judge to certify a class action that could add Columbia University as a defendant, which would expand potential accountability beyond Wiley if approved.
