"after using the bathroom, she said, she noticed some discharge on her panty shield. washington said she removed the liner and threw it away." when she came out, "tyson then pulled her to the bed, pinned her down and raped her, she testified. he was mean, evil, she said. i got on top and started to try to get away, but he slammed me down again.". "three days after the assault, washington went to the police and accused tyson of rape." partial corroboration of washington's story came via testimony from tyson's chauffeur, virginia foster, who confirmed desiree washington's "state of shock" after the incident. foster also testified that tyson had previously attempted to sexually assault her too, having "lured her to his hotel room, tried to touch her, and then exposed himself".
