The man wrongfully convicted of raping best-selling author Alice Sebold over 40 years ago has expressed dismay at her failure to contact him, despite his conviction being vacated back in November 2021.Anthony Broadwater spent 16 years in prison for attacking the author in Syracuse, New York, in May 1981. She picked him out in a lineup, but told the jury: 'I am not absolutely sure'. He was convicted on the strength of her recognizing him, and forensic evidence which is now considered unreliable, and no longer used.Sebold wrote a memoir, Lucky, about the attack.
