Superstar boxer and Hollywood celebrity Mike Tyson is being sued for $5 million for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in New York.

The woman, who still remains anonymous, said that Tyson picked her and a friend up in a limousine and made repeated sexual advances on her even after she attempted to deny them.

The victim was able to file a lawsuit under newly enacted legislation in New York that allows sexual assault victims to find civil redress even after the criminal statute of limitations expires.

Tyson was convicted of sexually assaulting Desiree Washington in 1992, resulting in a 3-year prison sentence.

Some have speculated that Washington is the person suing Tyson for psychological, emotional, and physical injury resulting from the rape.

Despite his conviction, Tyson has continued to defend his innocence in the 1992 incident.
