Former U.S. boxing champion Mike Tyson has been accused by a woman filing a civil suit of raping him in a limousine in the early 1990s near New York City, according to a court document.

The man who was once considered one of the greatest heavyweights of all time was convicted in 1992 of raping model Desiree Washington, who was 18 at the time. He spent three years behind bars.

Thirty years later, the woman, who insisted on remaining anonymous during the trial because she fears "attacks from the media and all the fans" of Mike Tyson, filed a "rape" lawsuit in Albany County Civil Court in early January. She is seeking $5 million in damages.
