NEW YORK — Author Alice Sebold publicly apologized Tuesday to the man who was exonerated last week in the 1981 rape that was the basis for her memoir “Lucky" and said she was struggling with the role she played “within a system that sent an innocent man to jail.”
“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 wrote. Sebold, who is white, went to police. An officer said the man in the street must have been Broadwater, who had supposedly been seen in the area.
Publisher Simon & Schuster and its imprint Scribner said Tuesday they had ceased distribution of “Lucky” in all formats and were working with the author to consider how it might be revised.
