Anthony Broadwater, the man she accused of raping her, was cleared of the crime when the Supreme Court said the evidence against him made no sense and that he was innocent and wrongfully jailed. Broadwater is African-American, and controversy followed as people believed Sebold had lied on purpose to punish a black person for a crime they did not commit racist reasons. This has happened many times before to other black men falsely accused of raping white women and punished, and people saw this incident as another example of it. Whether or not she was actually raped has been called into question as a result. ==References== {{Reflist}} ==Other websites== {{Commons
