New Sex Scandal Hits Tyson

Society | August 15, 2005, Monday // 00:00

Notorious boxer Mike Tyson is facing new legal trouble after a reported incident in Italy.

Florence Botoli, 33, has said that Tyson assaulted her at a nightclub, after she refused to have sex with him.

The woman said that Tyson took a lot of cocaine and said he wanted to have sex with her. Botoli's refusal drove the former champ mad, and he punched her and threw her to the floor. His bodyguard interfered to make Tyson calm down, the Italian lady says.

Media reported that the retired boxer has been questioned by policemen over the incident.

In 1992, he was jailed for six years on rape charges.

Tyson, 39, was recently offered a peaceful outlet for his libido. Producers of porn icon Jenna Jameson offered him a part in a adult flick, and the heavyweight pugilist seems ready to jump in.

"I need the money up front," Tyson was cited as saying.

He has been desperate for cash after a career downfall.
