Netflix has a new limited mini series out called 'As they see us' or some such. Basically canonizing the five rapist/assaulters of the infamous Central Park rape in 1989. If you watch it try not to puke, and don't fall for the bs.

I thought it has been proven those 5 boys were innocent and wrongly convicted.

That's what I thought. I believe they even got court settlements for their wrongful convictions.

It's unfortunate that fictitious information can permeate even the least easily manipulated people. Matias Reyes dna was proven to be on the victim. Why that excluded the other rapists in the light of confessions I have no idea.
The five accused rapists -- Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray, Raymond Santana, Yusef Salaam and Kharey Wise -- were duly convicted of the 1989 Central Park rape, as well as other assaults in the park that night; “exonerated” 13 years later; and, more than a decade after that, paid $40 million by the city of New York to settle a malicious prosecution case within months of Bill de Blasio becoming mayor, despite city lawyers’ confidence that they would win at trial.
To his credit, Mayor Michael Bloomberg refused to give the "exonerated" convicts a dime.
Today, they are civil rights heroes to Hollywood airheads and others completely unfamiliar with the facts of the case.
Here is just some of the evidence against them.
Santana was one of the first boys picked up in the park the night of the attacks, April 19, 1989. While being driven to the precinct house, he blurted out: “I had nothing to do with the rape. All I did was feel the woman’s [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse].”
At this point, the jogger hadn’t been found. The police knew nothing about any rape.
Richardson rode to the precinct with another boy, who announced to the police that he knew who did “the murder,” naming Antron McCray. Richardson concurred, saying, “Yeah. That’s who did it.”
Again, the police didn't know about the jogger yet. (It’s not surprising that the boys thought she was dead: Her doctors didn’t expect her to live through the night.)
Over the next few days, five teenaged boys gave detailed confessions about the attack on the woman, as well as the other attacks. All five made their confessions in the presence of their parents or guardians.
