History

Historical Context

Mike Tyson’s July 1991 arrest for raping 18-year-old pageant contestant Desiree Washington led to a February 10 1992 conviction and a six-year Indiana sentence, of which he served three years before parole in March 1995. The case followed his 1988 marriage to Robin Givens and his 1986 rise as the youngest heavyweight champion, establishing a pattern of financial turmoil that has shadowed his later marriages and business deals.
