Mike Tyson Barred From United Kingdom for 1992 Rape Conviction

The United Kingdom last year changed their immigration laws to prevent the entrance of anyone who has been sentenced to more than four years in prison. This is bad news for boxing great Mike Tyson, who was sentenced to six years behind bars back in 1992 for the rape of Miss Black Rhode Island Desirree Washington.
Tyson, who is currently on tour promoting his autobiography, "Undisputed Truth," had stops scheduled for London, and released a statement regarding the change of plans:
"I have been coming to the U.K. consistently in the past decade so this change is disheartening since it affects my current entry standing. I apologize to my fans that were inconvenienced, however, please know I am currently working diligently with the proper authorities to regain access next year for my U.K. tour."
