Forgive my honesty but Mike Tyson is a sleaze bag and pretty much always has been. His life has been full of violence, drugs, alcohol, and lawsuits. By time he was 13 he had been arrested 30 times. At age 11, as the member of a gang, he had a job cleaning out cash registers during armed gang robberies. He was paroled from reformatory school at age 14 and later kicked out of high school for violent and erratic behavior. The violent and erratic behavior has followed him his whole life. He's been married three times with his 2nd wife leaving him because of adultery. His first two wives also made claims that he had physically abused them. This is just a small window into what has been the sum total of Mike Tyson's life. If the rape charge was all there was on Tyson, I could believe it was mostly a fabricated set up. However, in view of how the man has lived his life up to this point ..... I'm not so sure.
