A Columbia University student has accused former NFL defensive end Marcellus Wiley of rape while she was at the Ivy League school in 1994, according to a lawsuit obtained by the New York Post. 

The victim’s lawsuit, which was filed in New York Supreme Court under the Adult Survivors Act, claims Wiley, the 48-year-old former ESPN personality, attacked her in the fall of that year while he was starring as Columbia’s running back during his sophomore season. 

She stated that Wiley had forced himself on her in a freshman dorm room, did not care for her objections to his actions and took her virginity.

The victim claims that she would later attempt suicide because of the traumatic experience. 

"[Wiley’s] actions were intentionally designed to cause plaintiff severe emotional distress or were taken with reckless disregard of the significant and/or substantial probability of causing plaintiff severe emotional distress," the lawsuit says, per The Post. 

The victim, a sociologist and Ivy League professor who has a focus on race and culture, said she and Wiley had been friends when he invited himself to her dorm room. He told her he wanted to listen to music and eat dinner.
