Mirren tells of date-rape as teenager

Helen Mirren has waded into potential controversy over the issue of date-rape. The 63-year-old star has spoken previously of being a victim of date-rape herself.

Asked if she reported the incidents, which took place when she was younger, to the police, she told GQ magazine: “No, you couldn’t do that in those days. It’s such a tricky area, isn’t it? Especially if there is no violence. I mean, look at Mike Tyson. I don’t think he was a rapist.”
