Los Angeles - Mike Tyson claims he was
sexually abused as a child.
The 48-year-old retired boxer was "snatched"
off the street when he was seven by an "old
man", who he never saw again after the
shocking one-time incident.
Speaking on SiriusXM's Opie Radio show, he
said: "He snatched me off the street. I was a
little kid...he was an old man."
"He bullied me, sexually abused me and
stuff. Never seen him again."
Mike - who has been married three times and
has six children - managed to escape but
never told anyone what had happened.
He said: "I just went on with my life."
The controversial sportsman - who spent
three years in jail after being convicted of
rape in 1992 - is unsure whether or not the
attack changed him.
Asked if he had changed as a result of the
abuse, he said: "I don't know if it did or not."
"I don't always remember, but maybe I do
but I don't. I'm not ashamed or embarrassed
by it."
The Hangover actor recently admitted he
used to share a drug dealer with the late
Robin Williams, who committed suicide in
August.
He said: "I knew Robin. We'd meet each
other. People that deal with this situation, we
know each other. We all know each other. We
meet each other. I've been at a meeting with
him, yes."
"This is very interesting. When I met him he
said, 'I was waiting for you.' And he started
telling me about somebody I was purchasing
something from ... You look up to Robin so
in my mind I'm saying to myself, 'How does
he know this low-life dealer that I know?'
