MIKE TYSON - TYSON'S WIFE AN EX-CON

TYSON'S WIFE AN EX-CON

MIKE TYSON's new wife LAKIHA SPICER reportedly served six months in prison for fraud and conspiracy a year before exchanging vows with the retired boxing legend.
Tyson and Spicer took out a marriage license in Las Vegas on Saturday (06Jun09) and the couple wed later that evening at the La Bella Wedding Chapel in the Las Vegas Hilton.
According to the Philadelphia Daily News, 32-year-old Spicer was imprisoned last year (08) for her involvement in a $71,000 (£47,335) scam after a jury convicted her - along with her mother Faridah Ali - of using a school to obtain federal funds for classes that were never conducted.
Tyson, who has suffered legal woes of his own, served three years for rape in the early 1990s.
And Spicer has been helping the troubled boxer grieve since the tragic accidental death of his four-year-old daughter Exodus just two weeks ago (25May09) - after her neck got caught in a cord from a piece of exercise equipment.
