A woman has accused former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson of raping her sometime in the early 1990s in a lawsuit filed in Albany, New York, this month.
The woman, who is suing for US$5 million, said Tyson raped her in a limousine after she met him at an Albany nightclub and that she has suffered from "physical, psychological and emotional injury" in the years since then.
The legal action in New York was filed under the state's Adult Survivors Act, which gives sexual assault victims a one-year window to file lawsuits over assaults that happened years or even decades ago. "I told him no several times and asked him to stop, but he continued to attack me," the woman said. "He then pulled my pants off and violently raped me."
The woman's attorney, Darren Seilback, said in a separate filing that his office did not simply take the woman at her word but investigated her allegations and determined that they are "highly credible."A message seeking comment from Tyson was sent to an agency that has represented him.
