Scott graduated from both the University of Delaware and Wright State University's medical school.

According to published reports, Scott approached a pimp in Times Square and solicited to women to have sex with him at his apartment. One of the women was only 14-years old.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2010/02/23/2010-02-23_exwabc_sportscaster_marvell_scott_charged_with_raping_14yearold.html Scott was released on $10,000 bail and could face a maximum jail term of seven years if convicted.
