Tyson reveals rape urge
May 29, 2003
BOXER Mike Tyson has told an interviewer he did not rape Desiree Washington in 1991 - but he wants to now. 
The controversial sports star made the outrageous comment in a television interview to be broadcast on the Fox network.
Tyson denied the rape in an Indianapolis hotel room, but said the burden of being labelled a convicted rapist made him want to do it now.
"I just hate her guts. She put me in that state, where I don't know," Tyson said.
"I really wish I did now. But now I really do want to rape her." 
Interviewer Greta Van Susteren was taking a look back at the circumstances of Tyson's 1992 trial. It ended with him convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison.
He served three years of the sentence before being released on parole.
Tyson's adviser Shelly Finkel did not immediately return calls for comment on the interview, which was recorded in Miami Beach.
