In a linked article from "Good Housekeeping" the writer apparently decided that a Netflix drama by a racial demagogue is all the evidence they need, and have decided to do their part to heap coal of fire on the police & prosecutors by pointing out the evil of Matias Reyes, the man who was not determined to be the culprit until much later.

The article goes on to relate Reyes' history of assaults, including sexual, and murder. It tells about his arrest and confession of a murder and multiple rapes and attempted rapes and says "Through all of his initial questioning, Matias never once mentioned his connection to the Central Park Jogger case. In fact, it wasn't until he met Korey Wise in prison that he even considered owning up to this particular crime."

"For whatever reason, after this second chance meeting, Matias felt moved to go to the police with the truth and in 2002, he admitted to being the lone attacker in the Central Park Jogger case."

So that solves the whole case, right? Clearly the character of Matias Reyes is such that it is impossible to doubt his account, which is the sole evidence on which the convictions of the other five rapists were vacated. He was "moved" to go to the police AFTER the statute of limitations had expired, and he faced no consequences for admitting his role. Obviously there is no reason to doubt his assertion that he acted alone, and it's pure coincidence that the actual convicted rapists knew incriminating details about his actions, or admitted to helping him.

Meanwhile, out in the real world, entertainers who bring joy to millions of people, are being punished for having consensual sex, where it turned out the woman was lying about consent. Or for compromising their artistic visions by being willing to cast actresses who are willing to sleep their way to a part. Or for trying to have sex with women and not actually going all the way when she fights them off. These men are all rapists. That's fine. But Kharey Wise, Yusef Salaam, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson and Raymond Santana are completely innocent and it was so wrong to punish them that mobs are calling for the prosecutor to be fired, when they freely admitted to holding a woman down and/or groping her, while another male inflicted intercourse (one of them actually TOLD the police about the rape, which they had no idea happened, until he blurted it out in the police car taking him in for questioning - he was being brought in because he had been indentified as one of several kids attacking random people in the park; he wasn't a suspect in the rape, because no one but the perpetrators knew she had been raped at that point). That's not rape. It's got nothing to do with rape. They had a perfectly innocent reason for holding a woman's limbs while a (compulsively honest) serial rapist does his business.
