Mike Tyson is charged with raping a woman in New York

A woman has accused Mike Tyson of rape in a lawsuit filed in New York state earlier this week.

According to a report from an ABC affiliate, the alleged victim said the attack occurred sometime in the early 1990s after she met the world heavyweight boxing champion at Septembers Club in Albany.

In the $5 million lawsuit filed Jan. 5 in Albany County Court, the woman claims that the alleged assault in a limousine caused her “physical, psychological and emotional injuries.”

“My boyfriend and I were hanging out with him and his limo driver,” the woman wrote in an affidavit obtained by the outlet. “Tyson told us about a party and asked us to come along. My friend went to drop off her car and Tyson said he would pick her up in the limo.”

She claimed Tyson began kissing and touching her after she got into his limousine, even after she said he rejected his advances.

“I told him no several times and asked him to stop, but he continued to attack me,” she said. “Then he took off my pants and brutally raped me.”

The woman said she wanted to remain anonymous because publishing her name “would certainly pose a risk of further psychological harm, harassment, ridicule or personal embarrassment to me.”

She was able to file her lawsuit thanks to New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which gives victims of sexual assault one year to bring sexual assault allegations to court, even if they occurred decades ago.

Tyson was previously convicted of rape in 1992 after attacking beauty pageant contestant Desiree Washington in Indianapolis. He served three years in prison.
