Last year, a woman calling herself Joanie Faircloth accused Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes of raping her after a 2003 concert via an online posting. Early this year, Oberst filed lawsuit against Faircloth accusing her of defamation, on the grounds that Faircloth's claims were false.

In a statement, signed today, Faircloth, whose real name is Joan Harris, issued an apology which stated that all her accusations were untrue. You can click read more for her full statement.
