i need the details of mike tysons case against desiree washington. please??

Answer 1

In 1992, Tyson went on trial in Indiana after being arrested there in 1991 for the rape of Miss Black Rhode Island, Desiree Washington, in an Indianapolis hotel room. Tyson was convicted on the charge of rape on February 10, 1992.

He was given a sentence of six years and was released in May 1995 after serving three years. Under Indiana law, a defendant convicted of a felony must begin serving his prison sentence immediately after the sentence is imposed. While in prison, Tyson converted to Islam.The facts of the Tyson/Washington case are similar to, and probably the inspiration for, the plot of the 2002 film Undisputed, which starred Wesley Snipes and Ving Rhames.

Tyson did not fight again until 1995. After two comeback bouts against Peter McNeeley and Buster Mathis Jr., he regained one belt by easily winning the WBC title from Frank Bruno in March 1996 in three rounds. Tyson was criticized by many for fighting such inferior opposition in his two comeback bouts prior to fighting Bruno. For example, it was pointed out that McNeeley's opponents had lost nearly three-quarters of their fights. Mathis was a mediocre, light-hitting puncher whose only claim to fame was that his father had also been a boxer who fought Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali. In September 1996 Tyson won back the WBA title in 93 seconds from Bruce Seldon, having paid Lennox Lewis $4 million to "step aside". Seldon was subjected to much ridicule for his first round loss to Tyson because he seemed to go down and out from a very light punch. Many accused him of being so scared that he simply gave up.
