Mike Tyson was sued by a woman who alleges he raped her in the early 1990s, Sports Illustrated are reporting.
The accuser, who filed a lawsuit under the New York Adult Survivors Act, is seeking $5 million in damages.
The woman, who did not want to be named, said in an affidavit that she accepted an invitation from Tyson to go to the party in a limousine. However, according to SI, she alleges that Tyson “roughly raped” her when she walked inside.
She added that she had “experienced extreme distress including but not limited to nightmares, panic attacks and flashbacks,” SI reported.
The Adult Survivors Act, signed into law last May, allows people over the age of 18 to sue their alleged abusers regardless of when the abuse took place.
Tyson, 56, served three years in prison in the 1990s for raping beauty pageant contestant Desiree Washington in 1991.
