“Well, Mr. Trump,” Garrison began his segment. “Tough is one thing. A serial rapist is quite something else.”

Garrison was the lead prosecutor in the Tyson rape trial. In his show’s opening monologue, which is included in this post, Garrison related how Tyson “brutally, horribly raped” the 17-year old high school student. “Tore her clothes. Tore her body. Destroyed her life,” Garrison said.

In the aftermath of the rape, Ms. Washington was forced to change her name. Her parents ultimately divorced over the pressures resulting from the rape and the trial. One reason Ms. Washington had said he felt she could trust Tyson was that her father and brother were big fans of the boxer.

Tyson was released from prison in 1995. “It’s not 6 months [after he gets out of prison] ’til he rapes another woman,” Garrison continues. “I know. I knew her. I represented her.”
