The Central Park Five, a group of men wrongfully convicted in the 1989 rape of a jogger, have filed a defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump.
The lawsuit alleges that Trump’s repeated false statements, including remarks made during a recent presidential debate, have caused them severe emotional distress and reputational harm. The men were exonerated in 2002 after DNA evidence and a confession from another individual cleared them of the crime. Despite their exoneration, Trump has continued to publicly question their innocence.
The lawsuit seeks to hold Trump accountable for his 'extreme and outrageous conduct' over the years.
