Lovely Bones Author Apologizes to Man Wrongly Convicted of Raping Her

Alice Sebold publicly apologized to Anthony Broadwater more than a week after he was cleared of rape charges

Alice Sebold, New York Times best-selling author of The Lovely Bones, is finally apologizing to the man she wrongly accused of raping her nearly four decades ago while she was a student at Syracuse University.

In a public statement posted to Medium, Sebold issued an apology to Anthony Broadwater, who was cleared last Monday of all charges in his 1982 conviction – which served as the main subject in Sebold's best-selling 1999 memoir, Lucky. "First, I want to say that I am truly sorry to Anthony Broadwater and I deeply regret what you have been through," Sebold wrote.

Sebold went on to write that as a "traumatized 18-year-old rape victim," she chose to "put my faith in the American legal system" – something she now regrets nearly 40 years later.
