Tyson Says He Would Rape Victim Now

Mike Tyson hasn't lost his penchant for saying the outrageous.

In a television interview scheduled for broadcast Thursday, Tyson again denied he raped Desiree Washington in 1991 in an Indianapolis hotel room. But he said the burden of being labeled a convicted rapist makes him want to do it now.

"I just hate her guts. She put me in that state, where I don't know," Tyson said. "I really wish I did now. But now I really do want to rape her."

Tyson made the comments during a recent interview in Miami Beach with Greta Van Susteren, who was taking a look back at the circumstances of Tyson's 1992 trial that ended with him convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison.

He served three years of the sentence before being released on parole.


A call for comment to Tyson's adviser, Shelly Finkel, was not immediately returned.

The interview will be shown Thursday night (9 p.m. EDT) on "The Pulse" on the Fox network

Looking at this from Tyson's viewpoint, he is right in believing he didn't rape her. They were in her room, after partying somewhere else, she invited him, then said "no". At that point in time his primitive brain was beyond responding to that word. He "knew" she needed to get laid.
The rest of us know he's a lunatic, he just doesn't get it.

Well, to be honest, im of the opinion that Mike Tyson didnt rape her in the first place. I think she willingly went to his room knowing full well what was going to happen. I think she saw opportunity and took it. I think the sex was consensual. That said, Tyson is just an inner city street thug at best. So this sort of idiotic talk should be expected of him by now. He gains nothing by making this statement. In fact, it only makes him look that much worse. He needs to say "no comment" anytime someone puts a mic in his face for the rest of his life. But I doubt that will happen. He is everyone's favorite sports sound bite.

Mike Tyson is an idoit, and a coward. Did anyone see the fight with him and hollyfield(sp), he was getting his arse kicked so he bit part of H's ear off. He talks big and says mean things so it will get him more time in the spotlight. He needs to shut up and go away............
