Author Alice Sebold apologized Tuesday to the man who was exonerated of the 1981 rape featured in her memoir,"Lucky," saying she struggled with the role she"unwittingly played within a system that sent an innocent man to jail."
"My goal in 1982 was justice — not to perpetuate injustice," she said."And certainly not to forever, and irreparably, alter a young man's life by the very crime that had altered mine."in all its formats would cease"while Sebold and Scribner together consider how the work might be revised." Sebold wrote in “Lucky” that she was raped and that several months later, she saw a Black man walking down the street who she believed was the person who attacked her. Sebold, who is white, reported her experience to police. An officer suggested that the man was Broadwater, who had supposedly been seen in the area.
Sebold said she is also grappling with the fact that her rapist will"never be known" and may have assaulted other women.
