Mike Tyson Rape Accusation Lawsuit Withdrawn

A woman accused Mike Tyson of rape in 1991, but has now withdrawn her lawsuit against him due to procedural issues. Her legal team expressed disappointment in the court's decision. Tyson, who was previously convicted of rape in another case, denies the allegations.

In a recent development, the woman who accused former boxing champion Mike Tyson of raping her in 1991 has dropped her lawsuit in the U.S. District Court. According to a letter from Tyson's attorney, Daniel Rubin, the accuser's legal representative announced the voluntary dismissal of the case.

The woman's decision to withdraw the complaint comes as her attorneys express their discontent with the court's refusal to allow amendments to the pleadings, leading to the case's dismissal on procedural grounds. Despite the legal hurdles, they affirmed their unwavering support for their client's narrative.

The lawsuit, filed under New York's Adult Survivors Act, sought justice decades after the alleged incident. Although Tyson has firmly denied the allegations, he was previously convicted of rape in a separate 1992 case, serving a three-year prison sentence for that crime.
