'Claims were made by a woman in December against Oberst [link added], accusing the artist of raping her in 2003, when she was 16 years of age. The woman admitted she lied about the story in July and issued a public apology to the singer-songwriter over the incident.

Speaking to The Music's Hannah Story recently ahead of his upcoming Australian tour, Oberst said he's just happy to be able to move on from the incident.

"It was a very surreal and painful experience, but I’m happy that the truth got out. I’m happy to move on with my life and focus on music," he said.'
