A black man was cleared of a rape charge after spending 47 years behind bars after the white victim of the attack admitted she might have identified the wrong person.

Tyrone Clark, 66, was convicted in 1974 of kidnaping and raping Anne Kane in her Boston, Massachusetts apartment.

He was 18 at the time.

A judge vacated Tyrone Clark’s 1974 conviction for raping Anne Kane on Tuesday, just a day after another black man wrongly accused of raping author Alice Sebold was exonerated.

Clark spent nearly 50 years in prison after he was convicted of raping and kidnapping Anne Kane, 23, in June 1973, after someone broke into her Back Bay apartment and raped her at knifepoint.

Clark, who was 18 at the time, was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole.

Clark gave his first interview to DailyMail.com on Thursday, a day after leaving prison, saying:


'I’m so happy to be out.

I can’t think about the past.

I just have to try to move on and take it one day at a time.

I thank God for answering my prayers that I got out, because I didn’t think I was going to get out.’

‘I was telling the guys when I left the prison that there are a lot of innocent men in the same situation as in my shoes. And I promised I’m not going to leave them behind.

‘The injustice in society is very messed up.’

Clark walked out of North Central Correctional Institute in Gardner on Wednesday afternoon without any identification, no bank account, phone, or working knowledge of the Internet.

Clark spent nearly 50 years inside the North Central Correctional Institute in Gardner

Despite all he’s been through, Clark said he’s thankful that the rape victim in his case ultimately came forward with concerns about a wrongful conviction.

‘It took a lot of courage to do what she did,’ he said. ‘God bless her, even though it took so long for her to come forward, I still forgive her.

I never attacked her, I never committed this crime.

I’ve held my innocence for 50 years.’

A GoFundMe for Clark had raised nearly $6,000 as of early Thursday afternoon.

Only if blacks will start seeing themselves as equal as these people.
China was once like us. But look at them. That's why I love some Arab countries despite the way the West paint them negatively.

shocked



My friend ended up getting a second wife and 3 kids just to proof his nagging wife right after she kept accusing him wrongly of infidelity.

So the devil in me almost suggested that this poor man should go back and do the rape so that the time he's spent being locked up for a crime he didn't commit will be justified but common sense prevailed.

At 66, his preek won't be so hungry.

Dear Lord, we pray that you order our steps. May we not be in the right place at the wrong time or at the wrong place at the right time.

Strike us with erectile dysfunction whenever we stumble upon a diseased or cursed kpekus. May our looks not make the crime fit us.

All this we pray in the name of our Lord Jesus, Amen.

I don't actually believe stories like this.
The family of the accused must have struckn a deal with the accused and the victim agreed just to keep him out of Jail.
There is no common sense in it since he already spent 47 years.

Na lie jawe
