An American author of “The Lovely Bones” and “The Almost Moon”, Alice Sebold, has apologized for the erroneous role she played in accusing and causing the 16 years imprisonment of a black man, Anthony Broadwater for raping her in 1981.
In her apology note: “I am sorry most of all for the fact that the life you could have led was unjustly robbed from you, and I know that no apology can change what happened to you and never will.” She said that “I will also grapple with the fact that my rapist will, in all likelihood, never be known, may have gone on to rape other women, and certainly will never serve the time in prison that Mr. Broadwater did.”
