[CW: The following story discusses accusations of sexual assault]
According to Sports Illustrated Mike Tyson was the subject of a lawsuit filed in New York earlier this month in which he was accused of raping a woman in 1990. The lawsuit was filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, a state law that was created last year and provides a one year window for people to sue those they accuse of sexual assault regardless if the incident would normally fall outside of the state’s regular statute of limitations.
The plaintiff in this lawsuit is seeking $5 million in damages after she swore in a signed affidavit that Tyson “violently raped” her in a limousine in Albany, NY.
