Janine De Novais Uses Wiley Arrest as Evidence as Wife Files for Divorce and Restraining Order

Janine de Novais has filed exhibits that cite Marcellus Wiley's recent arrest and the no-contact order obtained by Annemarie Wiley to support her 1994 dorm-rape lawsuit, a new legal move that ties contemporaneous family-law filings to the older civil claim.The exhibits include court records from a hotel confrontation in Florida that led to Marcellus Wiley's arrest; he was released on $1,000 bond and remains subject to the no-contact order while Annemarie Wiley pursues a divorce and primary custody of the couple's three children.Annemarie Wiley's court papers allege repeated physical, sexual and financial abuse over many years, including an asserted rape in 2012 and assaults during a January family trip that she says were witnessed by the children and contributed to her decision to seek protection.Marcellus Wiley denies all allegations and his lawyers argue that the recent arrest does not prove decades-old claims; the filings increase the likelihood of contested evidentiary hearings and further litigation between the parties.
