Tyson Says Being Labeled a Rapist a Burden on Him
'Now I Really Do Want to Rape'

Mike Tyson hasn't lost his penchant for saying the outrageous.
In a television interview scheduled for broadcast Thursday, Tyson again denied he raped Desiree Washington in 1991 in an Indianapolis hotel room. But he said the burden of being labeled a convicted rapist makes 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.''
Tyson made the comments during a recent interview in Miami Beach with Greta Van Susteren, who was taking a look back at the circumstances of Tyson's 1992 trial that 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.
A call for comment to Tyson's adviser, Shelly Finkel, was not immediately returned.
The interview will be shown Thursday night (9 ET) on 'The Pulse' on the Fox network.

I think that what he meant is that, shit man, I served the time for raping her so I might of well have done it.
LEAVE THE GUY ALONE ALREADY! i SAW A CLIP FROM TH INTERVIEW AND THIS gRETA vON WHATEVER BEYOTCH RAILROADS Tyson with her questions. I hate this shit. Im not saying he is perfect or that he isnt a little mental but quit interviewing him and asking him questions you know are gonna make him upset and say things he doesnt even realize he is saying. It's sad the way he has been used his whole life. Not saying that he hasnt made his share of mistakes but damn man the media and public love this shit..like a pack of wild dogs just waiting to tear the man down. If I was him I would stay away from everyone and do my best to get a hold of my life! JMHO
