The Central Park Five were accused of beating and raping a female jogger in New York in 1989. All five, who were teenagers at the time, said they confessed under duress of police questioning … and they later recanted their confessions. They were convicted in jury trials, though they never pled guilty. In 2002, their convictions were vacated after another person confessed to the crime.

In the 2024 presidential debate, Trump said the men had pled guilty, and said they had killed a person, justifying his call for their executions. No one died in the 1989 attack.

Raymond’s super confident the court isn’t buying Trump’s BS — and he’s also sure they’ve got a solid case. He’s ready to face their accuser and says they deserve nothing less.

Raymond, along with Yusef Salaam, Kevin Richardson, Antron Brown, and Korey Wise — now known as the “Exonerated Five” — are suing Trump for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. They’re seeking both compensatory and punitive damage.
