NYC Official Apologizes For Blackface Facebook Photos

A New York City Assistant District Attorney has apologized for photos of himself in blackface that were found on his Facebook page, the New York Post reports.

Justin Marrus, now 25, took the photos six years ago when he was an undergraduate student. He has apologized for the photos that were pulled from his Facebook page by the Gothamist web site.

“This is something he did about six years ago while he was in college,” said DA spokesman Jerry Schmetterer. “He apologized. He admits it was childish and inappropriate.”
