Through his attorney Aaron Minc, and for the first time since being placed under suspicion of rape by Lena Dunham's memoir, "Barry One" has released a statement. It is posted in full below.

This pig in a human suit needs jail time and sued for everything.
Note to Barry: Stop talking and start filing!
I’m just glad the coupling was purely imaginary, so it didn’t result in a Barry Dunham being unleashed on the world...
Including that butt-ugly tattoo.
Good one.
Now that is a thread winner there.
We've had quite enough of the spawn of sluts named Dunham, thank you very much.
He’s trying to be a good little white knight about it.
Dude needs to grow a pair and not hit her with a feather.
I wonder if it is Barry One’s lawyers playing nice to see if they can settle without going to court. If you write a nice check and edit future editions we will keep quiet.
Sue the Bitch!
I want to thank Lena Dunham for confirming that the “Barry” described in her book is a pseudonym. As the sole source of the events in that book, her confirmation was crucial. I am relieved to have my name cleared as best as it can at this point.
The last nine weeks, spent both wrongfully accused and ignored, were frightening for me and my family. It was also baffling. As days turned to weeks, and weeks into months, Random House and Ms. Dunham’s silence became unfathomable. It’s frustrating and ironic to me that Ms. Dunham’s recent admission that it was all an “unfortunate and surreal coincidence” echoes my earlier comment to a reporter printed over six weeks ago.
It also begs the questions, why didn’t you clear my name? Why did you wait? Why did I have to set up a legal fund and threaten to sue in order for action to be taken?
Surely, had my concerns not been ignored when I quietly and privately brought them to your representatives in October, your story would have remained focused on its true intentions, which I believe are very noble. Unfortunately, because of the delay, my reputation has sustained irreparable harm.
I hope this case serves as a reminder to writers, publishers, and others with a stake in narrative that they must take special care when releasing non-fiction works featuring criminal acts. Copyright page disclaimers simply aren’t enough. Fact checking must be rigorous, unintended consequences of altered details must be researched, and the use of pseudonyms must be consistent and clear. Importantly, this goes beyond a simple coincidence of a relatively rare name, as has been suggested. I was an outspoken Republican at Oberlin College; I already stuck out like a sore thumb. When such obvious parallels are missed, corrective and restorative action should be taken immediately.
I want to be very clear: I have absolutely no reason to doubt Ms. Dunham’s claim that she was sexually assaulted in college. I hope, too, that her story brings courage and strength to other survivors of sexual assaults. I also hope that my story will serve as an example to those who are falsely accused or incorrectly placed under suspicion of serious sexual misconduct allegations that the truth will eventually come out.
Sue the horse-faced attention whore! It’s obvious why she didn’t clear his name.
Because she didn’t want to. She wanted it to be true to justify her own hatred.
It's kinda hard to tell without a side-by-side comparison. Could you re-post, but this time also include a picture of Dunham?
A male freshman from an Ivy League school recently confided in me that he had been raped by nine female staff in the faculty lounge. He had been tricked into going there ostensibly to go over his Psychology 101 term paper, which was getting an “F” because it did not seem to sincerely support homosexual marriage.
When he arrived at the staff lounge, he was hit from behind with a softball bat. He crashed to the floor, breaking a glass table, and then he lost consciousness. But when he came-to, he found himself on the floor among the glass, being held down and raped by the nine Women’s Studies Department profs. He remembered some of their voices, and what they said, while they did it.
One of them named “Sandy” said, “Think gays don’t deserve equal rights? Try this one for size!”
One of them named Gretchen came at him with.....
(You get the point. I could write the Rolling Stone agitprop in my sleep.)
Why did she let the lie go on this long? I think it changed the focus of attention on her from charges of her sexual molestation and exploitation of her little sister over to Barry (the Republican rapist). This delay conveniently converted her into a victim instead of a perp. So now she gets to say, “oops, sorry, Barry is a pseudonym”, and her cavalier attitude about what she did to exploit her little sister is now in the past. Never-mind that even if the name is a pseudonym, there is no one left who even fits a few of the numerous details she cited describing the supposed “rapist”.
We already have 1 barry dunham too many.
