The lawsuit, filed in federal court, claims that Trump's statements about the Central Park Five during the debate were "demonstrably false" and have caused ongoing harm.
The plaintiffs, now known as the Exonerate Five, assert that Trump's comments during the debate were part of a continued pattern of extreme and outrageous conduct, labeling it a continuing tort.
In seeking over $75,000 in damages, the suit emphasizes that the men were exonerated and never pled guilty to any crime, directly contradicting Trump's statements.
Korey Wise, a member of the Exonerate Five and activist, along with his counterparts, filed suit highlighting the emotional distress caused by Trump's false accusations.
