DESIREE WASHINGTON; (Tyson's rape victim) with Barbara Walters for an interview on ABC's "20/20" programme.

Rape victim Desiree Washington said she pities her attacker, boxer Mike Tyson, and would have dropped charges if he had sought help. "I pitied him, from the day I pressed charges. This man needs help." The beauty queen claimed she was offered a million dollars to drop the charges against him. But in a television interview with presenter Barabar Walters, she said she would have been content with a simple apology.
