The so-called “Central Park Five” sued former President Donald Trump Monday, saying he made “false and defamatory” statements about them during last month’s presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Antron Brown and Korey Wise filed the civil complaint in US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging Trump, 78, “falsely stated” that they had “killed an individual and pled guilty to the crime.”
“These statements are demonstrably false. Plaintiffs never pled guilty to any crime and were subsequently cleared of all wrongdoing,” lawyers for the quintet wrote in the 18-page filing. “Further, the victims of the Central Park assaults were not killed.”
The plaintiffs have demanded $225,000 in damages for defamation, false light and intentional inflection of emotional distress.

Weak attempt at October surprise and desperate attempt to gain black vote.
““Let’s remember, this is the same individual who took out a full-page ad in the New York Times calling for the execution of five young black and Latino boys who were innocent, the Central Park Five,” Harris said”
That’s a lie. His ad called for the restoration of the death penalty in New York and for the execution of murderers. He never mentioned the central park 5. Plus they were charged with rape (and attempted murder, but found not guilty on that charge), not murder. The rape victim survived the attack and is still alive today.
Somebody call these guys a waaaahhhmbulance.
They had a good time and got rich.
Then Trump can get discovery against the complainants and we will see where that leads.
Attorney: They are so sensitive, so gentle, so spiritual.
People who have been convicted of terrible crimes cannot be defamed by saying they were convicted of terrible crimes.

Brain addled democrats are already eager to be the next NY jury to fine Trump.

I think Judge Joe Brown can enlighten a lot of folks on this...this is gonna make him spit ten penny nails....;)
“killed an individual and pled guilty to the crime.”
did they? or did they just not plead guilty
There have been numerous Central Park attacks that resulted in death over the years.
They admitted the crime before crime even announced. Ann Coulter has done great work discussing these monsters and their heinous crimes.
They pled not guilty.
...Of the 37 youths brought in for questioning about the multiple violent attacks in the park that night, only 10 were charged with a crime and only five for the rape of the jogger: Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson and Korey Wise. All five confessed - four on videotape with adult relatives present and one with a parent present, but not on videotape...
