Boxer confesses to sleeping with prison counselor to reduce his sentence

Former boxing champion, Mile Tyson, has revealed that he slept

with a prison counselor in order to reduce his prison sentence.

In the prime of his career, Mr Tyson was arrested for raping

an 18-year-old beauty pageant contestant.

Although he maintained his innocence, he was convicted

in 1992 and sentenced to six years in prison.

However, he spent less than three years at the Indiana Youth Centre

before being released in 1995. He had also gotten a fourth year

added to it because of his bad behavior while locked up.

Speaking about his life in prison, he said he was supposed to

spend four years and needed to pass the GED

(General Educational Development) in order to reduce the term,

so he helped himself by dating the counselor.

He said: “I got in trouble like the first six months and stuff,

cursing, getting written up. And then by that time,

I got the hang of the place. ‘Hey, I know how to do this.’

Next thing you know, I’m dating one of the counsel workers now,

she’s letting me have sex with her now.”

According to Mr Tyson, he got another year tacked onto his

sentence because he was so hard to deal with initially.

“So I’m going good. But the first six months I was getting write-ups,

I have to pay that year back. … I’m like a star pupil prisoner.

Trusty, everything. Then, ‘Hey Mike, remember the first six months

you were a prick?’ Boom. They gave me another year.”

Desperate to shave the year off of his sentence, he found out

that he could reduce his time if he got his GED.

The high school dropout began courting a prison

counselor in order to get her to pass him.

“So by passing the GED they took that year away,” Tyson said, adding,

“So I flunked the f*cking GED … and got mad, and so I had to

start dating this counselor and stuff, giving her money and

doing really some nasty stuff to her, and she let me pass this test.”

As he expected, the prison took the year off of Tyson’s sentence

and he was able to go home in three years.

Looking back on the incident, Tyson admitted that he should’ve

been in prison for a lot longer. He was initially slapped with over 50 years.
