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.
