Per the article, Tyson did serve three years in prison for the same rape back in 1992 (conviction was on 1992-02-10). This lawsuit is a civil suit under a new New York law allowing additional civil damages for rape, including those dating back decades.
Its also worth noting that civil cases have lower standards of proof than criminal cases, though the prior conviction for the same act makes it basically a slam dunk civil case.
It’s a lawsuit over early 90s allegations >

Like his early 90's rape conviction and prison sentence? >

The woman's attorney, Darren Seilback, said in a separate filing that his office did not simply take the woman at her word but investigated her allegations and determined that they are “highly credible.”
I am curious what they have other than her word. >

Her money >

His money >

Oh okay, so we are doing this again? >

Sweet 90’s nostalgia! >

I’m sorry but these laws are ridiculous. How is someone supposed to defend themselves against 30 year old accusations? It’s bull shit. >

I don’t know why a rapist ever go “rehabilitated” in the public eye in the first place.
Rapists are trash. >

Tyson already spent 3 years in prison for this same rape from 1992 though and he has completely changed his life around. Everyone should have an ability to rehabilitate themselves. He is now being sued under a new law recently passed so this person can collect a cash payment. >

No.  Rapists don’t deserve a “second chance” at stardom >

So that create two problems. If people can’t be rehabilitated then they should never be let out into society. If laws were changed to reflect your belief then every rape would probably be a death sentence to the victims. If that is the world you want to live in that’s fine. Mike Tyson has never done anything since in 30 plus years that I am aware of since that incident. He is a great example that either rehabilitation works or he never did what he was accused of in the first place.
