Actress Lena Dunham will reportedly make an amendment to her memoir after the identity of an alleged rapist was revealed.
In Not That Kind of Girl, Dunham recalls an incident during her time at Oberlin College in Ohio when a man called 'Barry' allegedly sexually assaulted her.
"In another essay in this book I describe a sexual encounter with a mustachioed campus Republican as the upsetting but educational choice of a girl who was new to sex when, in fact, it didn't feel like a choice at all," Dunham writes.
Dunham's description of 'Barry' was detailed enough that former students at the small liberal arts school were allegedly able to identify the man Dunham was referring to, and his lawyer, Aaron Minc, has told The Hollywood Reporter that his client has had to defend himself against the claims.
The story hit headlines after a reporter at website Breitbart.com investigated Dunham's rape claim, noting that a Google search would lead a reader to the real identity of 'Barry' and that the actress made no note that it was a pseudonym, which she had done in other sections of the book.
