Sabrina Rubin Erdely, who wrote the now-retracted Rolling Stone article about a brutal gang-rape at the University of Virginia has officially apologized.

“I want to offer my deepest apologies: to Rolling Stone’s readers, to my Rolling Stone editors and colleagues, to the U.Va. community, and to any victims of sexual assault who may feel fearful as a result of my article,” Erdely wrote in a statement published in the New York Times.
