Alice Sebold, the author of The Lovely Bones, apologized Tuesday to the man who spent 16 years behind bars after he was wrongfully convicted of raping her when she was a college student.
In a statement released first to the Associated Press and then published on Medium, Sebold said she was "truly sorry" to Anthony Broadwater Jr. and that she deeply regretted what he had been through.

That’s so nice of her! Now her conscience is clean and we can put this whole mess behind us.
Barf.
He should sue her for everything she has or will have, plus more.
I think he should get at least half of everything she owns and will ever own.
She should be put in prison for sixteen years.
And everything the cops and DA who set this travesty up own as well.
He will enjoy the Lovely Lawsuit!
Take her for everything.
No question.
Wow, she is a piece of work !
The man hits on her and she accuses him of Rape !
“Months later, she passed a man walking on the street and called police to report she believed he was her attacker.
“He was smiling as he approached. He recognized me. It was a stroll in the park to him; he had met an acquaintance on the street,” she wrote in Lucky. “‘Hey, girl,’ he said. ‘Don’t I know you from somewhere?’”
“I looked directly at him. Knew his face had been the face over me in the tunnel.”

It is disturbing to me that she kept passing it off as a failure
of the system, and not a failure on her part to be damned sure she
was accusing a man justly.
Not only did she send the wrong guy to prison, and forever
harm him to his core, but she profited off of it.
Oh but it was the system’s fault... /s
Yeah, the system played a part in it, but she pulled a guy out of
the blue, and accused him falsely. Otherwise the system would not
have been involved at all.
I know she went through a very traumatic event, and I’m not here
to say she didn’t have any reason to seek justice, but wow, to do
this to a fellow human, then sort of wash her her hands of her own
part in it?
I’m glad she apologized to him. As of the last I had read about it, she didn’t. She said “I know you’ll never get your life back” and so on, so she left herself open for a suit - or maybe they already settled, you never know. I don’t think she deliberately messed with him. She did get attacked. I think it was an honest mistake, albeit a very tragic one. Kinda looks like the cops didn’t try too hard to find the guy who actually did it.
Yeah that’s just scary
She should sign everything she owns over to him.
Yet another example of why the 19th amendment experiment needs to end.

She needs to rot in jail for as long as he did, if not longer.
Yeah, no kidding...
There, but for the grace of God...
(Kinda looks like the cops didn’t try too hard to find the guy who actually did it.)
Yeah like the Kevin Green (e) case involving the attack on his wife.
