A woman has accused former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson of raping her in the early 1990s. 

The woman, who is suing him for $5 million, said that Tyson raped her in a limousine after she met him at a nightclub in Albany, New York. 

She added that she has suffered from 'physical, psychological and emotional injury' in the years since then.

While she has filed for legal action in New York under the state's Adult Survivors Act, she has not provided any date for the attack. However, she said that the incident took place in the early 1990s, when the 56-year-old was also accused of raping beauty pageant contestant Desiree Washington. Tyson was convicted of raping Washington on Feb. 10, 1992, and served three years in prison.
