MAN SERVING TIME IN MAKING AMENDS CASE TO BE RELEASED

William Beebe is scheduled to be released from prison on September 17, after serving six months of an 18- month jail sentence. Beebe was sentenced to serve the 18 months in jail after pleading guilty to one count of aggravated sexual battery against Liz Seccuro, a woman he had attacked 20 years earlier when both were students at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

Beebe, a recovering alcoholic, had written to Seccuro to apologize for the decades-old assault. She contacted the authorities, saying that she had forgiven Beebe but still desired justice.
