Wrongly Accused Of Rape Charges, regains freedom after 17 years




After spending nearly 17 years behind bars in a Louisiana prison on a charge of rape that he did not commit, Nathan Brown, 40, found himself a free man.

“I’m just happy to be free,” Brown told reporters. “Back with my family; it’s a wonderful feeling.”

Brown was arrested in August 1997 on suspicion he tried to rape a 40-year-old woman at a Metairie apartment where they both lived. He was convicted of the crime just three months later and sentenced to 25 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
