Mike Tyson has admitted he got a school teacher pregnant during a series of secret sex meetings in prison.

The boxing legend spent three years in prison back in 1992 after being convicted on a charge of rape and sentenced to six years behind bars. Tyson had won his rematch with Donovan Ruddock before entering prison with his heavyweight career having already reached the pinnacle.

Tyson revealed that he met the teacher while studying for a diploma which he had failed twice during his three years in jail. I was having sex in jail with a teacher,” Tyson incredibly revealed in front of a packed audience at the latest episode of Revolt’s DrinkChamps . “I had to go to school to get my GED. I failed the GED twice, that might make me double-dumb.

“But listen to this. When I had sex with her, she got pregnant. It was crazy, man. Hey guys, I had sex with my school teacher and she got pregnant. We weren’t using condoms.” Tyson had already admitted last year to having frequent sexual activity during his time in prison.

Tyson also revealed he had slept with a prison counsellor despite having to make up another year of his sentence after getting negative write-ups during the first six months of his jail-time. “I got in trouble like the first six months and stuff, cursing, getting written up,” Tyson previously told Vlad TV . “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. So I’m going good. But the first six months I was getting write-ups, I have to pay that year back. [Now] 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.

“So by passing the GED they took that year away. So I flunked the f***ing GED and got mad… So I had to start dating this counsellor and stuff, giving her money and doing really some nasty stuff to her, and she let me pass this test. “It was just meant to be. I was Mike Tyson and everybody gave me what I wanted. Everyone talking like I was some tough guy or some cool guy. I was just a pig.”

Legendary heavyweight Tyson has six children from three marriages and is a doting father to all of them. After being released from prison in 1995, Tyson went on to continue his incredible career sharing the ring with the likes of Frank Bruno and Evander Holyfield before retiring in 2005.

Tyson has since made a return to the ring competing in an exhibition with boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. It remains unclear if Tyson will return again but he plans to hold talks with YouTube star Jake Paul over a bout.

‘Haemolymph’: The sufferings of a wrongly accused teacher

by www.thehindu.com Leave a Comment

For many years, Abdul Wahid Sheikh lived a life of peace and quiet. He would go to school in the morning, teach his students, spend time with them sorting out their issues, come back home in the afternoon to his family. The beautiful bubble burst when the police asked him to report to the local police station and arrested him as an accused of Mumbai train blasts of 2006 which claimed more than 180 lives.

The next nine years were spent proving his innocence. After being acquitted in the case, Sheikh decided to put it down in a book Begunah Quaidi, later translated into English as Innocent Prisoner . This Friday, Sheikh’s story makes it to cinema halls as director Sudarshan Gamare’s film Haemolymph releases at theatres across the country. Sheikh is both a relieved man, and emotional. “The film brought back memories of the prolonged stay in jail, the third degree treatment, false implication,” he shares his experience with The Hindu.

Excerpts from the interview:

You had already penned your experience in Innocent Prisoner. What led to Haemolymph now?

I returned from jail in 2015. A year later my book was published and many filmmakers started approaching me for making a film around my life. I did not say no to any of them. After listening to my story, nobody mustered up courage to make the film. When Sudarshan Gamare approached me, I told him, ‘You are not the first or the last to talk of making a film on my ordeal’. He had read Sunetra Choudhury’s book Behind Bars, which had a chapter on me, and my book too. We had many sittings about the script. Their team went through my chargesheet of 20,000 pages and the judgment of 2,000 pages. They saw the work I had been doing.

The film unit met you in Mumbai?

Yes. They hired space in a hotel in Mumbai and said, ‘You will have to sit with our team for two-three days and discuss minute details of the jail days’.

Didn’t you fear revisiting past trauma?

Yes, every now and then explaining the prison experience, I would get emotional. But I had a larger vision that if the film actually gets made, the world will know about my experience. What the book failed to do, this film has already done; those who watched the film at the premier (in New Delhi this past week), shed a tear. The film overwhelmed the audience and people asked about the 12 other accused too.

How long did it take to shoot the film?

It took two years to complete the film from research to shooting. As soon as the film’s shooting was completed, lockdown was imposed in March 2020. So the release was delayed. It will be screened at nearly 300 theatres from May 27.

How involved were you with the shooting?

I knew all the time where were they shooting in Mumbai. They used to call me regularly, and I attended whenever I had the time as I am also teaching in a school.

Was Riyaz Anwar who plays Abdul Wahid Sheikh in the film your choice?

No, he was the director’s choice. Sudarshan has worked with him in a couple of short films earlier. Riyaz has done a good job. There is a resemblance to my face and voice in the film.

How satisfied are you with the movie?

To a large extent…I understand it is not possible to encapsulate nine years of life in a two-hour film. Whatever the film shows is factually correct; whatever I underwent in jail or court, has been shown with honesty.

Were you arrested from school?

Yes and no. The illegal arrest took place when I was in school. They came and took me along. I came back a little later. For official arrest, they phoned me at home, asking me to come to the police station. I went over and they arrested me there. We have shown it in the film.

Aren’t you worried that the Intelligence Bureau guys who you say have often followed you will see the film too?

No, I am not worried. Let them watch a movie that narrates the life of a school teacher who is falsely implicated in a crime he did not commit.

Thursday morning news briefing: The strike fightback

by www.telegraph.co.uk Leave a Comment

For the second time in a week, the rail network has again been brought to a standstill today by the biggest industrial action in decades.

As passengers face more travel chaos , the Government is fighting back against unions. It will today unveil plans to change the law to allow businesses to use skilled agency workers to cover striking staff .

Whitehall sources said the legislation, which is expected to be in place by the autumn, will allow supply teachers to keep schools open after the UK’s largest teaching union threatened to ballot for a strike.

The Education Secretary today warns that a teachers’ strike would be “unforgivable” in the wake of Covid. Read Nadhim Zahawi ‘s article for The Telegraph in which he argues that young people have already suffered “more disruption than any generation that’s gone before them”.

On the railways, commuters were warned to avoid using trains today and on Saturday amid walkouts by the RMT union. Only around one in five trains will run today.

Use our interactive tool to check if they are running from your station. And rail chiefs are braced for a fresh wave of strikes in just two weeks after talks to reach a deal with unions failed.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister faces fresh Tory criticism of his economic approach to inflation, which underpins rail worker pay negotiations.

The decision to increase the state pension and benefits by inflation but reject calls to grant public sector pay rises in line with prices was called “crazy” by one ex-minister.

Associate editor Camilla Tominey says that, in trying to please the masses, the PM leaves hard-working taxpayers with the crumbs .

Mr Johnson faces a further test of his leadership today in the Tiverton and Wakefield by-elections .

Johnson to tell Charles he is proud of migrant plan

Boris Johnson is prepared to declare he is “proud” of his Rwanda migrant policy during talks with the Prince of Wales in the East African country tomorrow, The Telegraph understands.

The pair will meet for the first time since it emerged that the Prince privately described the planned deportation of asylum seekers to the country as “appalling”.

Rwanda is hosting this year’s Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, which both men are attending. The Prince and the Duchess of Cornwall yesterday toured the children’s room at the Kigali Genocide Memorial – calling for the world to learn from the atrocity .

Meanwhile, the Commonwealth Secretary General has been accused of suppressing a report that criticises her administration as a toxic row flared on the eve of the organisation’s most important summit in years.

Murdoch and Hall ‘calling time on their marriage’

Rupert Murdoch declared himself the “happiest man in the world” when he married Jerry Hall. Six years on, the media mogul and the former model are reportedly to split.

It would be the fourth divorce for Mr Murdoch, 91, after his wedding to 65-year-old Ms Hall, who was previously in a long-term relationship with Sir Mick Jagger, in London in March 2016.

Tamil Nadu Government Schools Face Infrastructure Woes as Students’ Strength Increases

by www.news18.com Leave a Comment

The Government schools of Tamil Nadu are facing a major infrastructure and teacher shortage following huge enrolment of students after Covid-19 pandemic.

Government schools of the state that were staring at an imminent closure due to student shortage were in for a pleasant surprise after the pandemic as students shifted from private schools to government.

Sources in the Tamil Nadu school education department told IANS that the number of students have increased by 6 lakh in government schools for students of Classes 2 to 12.

While parents are happy that they don’t have to run around for the hefty fee that the private schools were squeezing from them, the high enrolment in government schools has taken its toll on the infrastructure as well as the teachers’ strength.

R.K. Ravishankar, a small-time businessman at Chennai told IANS, “My son is studying in Class 6 and I shifted him from a private happening school where I had to shell out huge fee. While there is no fee now, I am worried as to whether the education being given to him is at par with what he was receiving at the private school. Government is government and we don’t know how far the teachers are motivated to give their best.”

With the enrolments increasing, each school has more than 300 to 400 students leading to an increase of around 30 per cent students in each class.

With the increase in the number of students, teachers find it difficult to teach more than 60 students in a class which earlier had only 40.

In a government school in Tamil Nadu, students were taught under a tree due to lack of space in the classes.

M. Muthupillai, President, TN High School and Higher Secondary School Headmaster/ Headmistress association while speaking to IANS said, “You know, only 60 per cent of government schools in Tamil Nadu have proper infrastructure. Moreover, teachers are overloaded and all administrative work is being done by the teachers.”

He also said that each school should have a non-teaching staff for conducting clerical work.

Teachers’ union leaders also suggested that the government must improve the teacher, student ratio from the present 30:1 at the primary level to 18:1.

There is, however, a major gap between the teaching of private schools and government schools.

In English for Class 10, private school students on an average scored 57 per cent while the government school students could touch only 35 per cent.

Private school managements are unfazed at the huge enrollment from private schools into government schools.

A private school owner at Madurai told IANS that the parents had to shift their children to government schools as they did not have any option.

However, several parents are now contemplating to bring their children back to private schools. The reason is mainly the lack of infrastructure as well as shortage of staff.

Educationists are of the opinion that students continuing in government schools of Tamil Nadu are to benefit well as the government has now introduced a 7.5 per cent horizontal reservation in professional courses for students from Tamil Nadu government schools. This has helped several students from poor backgrounds get into the medical colleges of the state under the merit quota.

The Tamil School Education Department has received Rs 100 crore in the state budget for improving hygiene in government schools. 7000 crore is allocated to develop the school infrastructure under the Perasiriyar Anbhazhagan School development scheme.

The government school teachers are of the opinion that more and more students will join the government schools if the government meets the immediate infrastructure requirements, including proper seating facilities for children.
