A woman who claims she was raped by Mike Tyson held a news conference Monday to denounce prosecutors for not charging the former heavyweight champion with a crime.
Arlene Moorman, 50, of Big Bear, Calif., says she was sexually assaulted by Tyson in July at a home he rented while training in the San Bernardino Mountains.
But San Bernardino County prosecutors say there wasn’t enough evidence to charge the 35-year-old Tyson.
“I am very distraught and in disbelief that the district attorney’s office has decided to forgo prosecution in this matter,” Moorman said at her attorney’s Los Angeles office. “My suffering has been magnified by their decision.”
Tyson’s attorney, Darrow Soll, issued a statement again proclaiming his client’s innocence.
Also Monday, Showtime announced that Tyson’s next fight will be in Copenhagen on Sept. 8 against Denmark’s Brian Nielsen.
The replacements?
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league has received 200 acceptances from replacement officials it has been recruiting in the event of a work stoppage for season-opening games on Sept. 9. Most of the officials who accepted, he said, were from colleges, NFL Europe and the Arena League.
The sides met for four hours Monday with no progress reported.
Say what?
`I’m kind of expensive.’
