WHERE ARE THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE NOW? The Central Park Five were all released from prison when it was discovered their convictions were wrongful. Matias Reyes, a convicted rapist and


murderer, confessed to the 1989 Central Park rape, leading to the Central Park Five's releases. When They See Us provided an update as to what all five individuals are doing now. As the


Netflix series drew to a close, a caption on-screen read: “The men known as the Central Park Five spent between six and 14 years in prisons across New York State. “Their wrongful


convictions were vacated in 2002 following the New York District Attorney’s reinvestigation of the Central Park Jogger case. “In 2014, a federal judge awarded the five men a settlement of


$41 million, the largest in New York State history.” WHAT DID DONALD TRUMP SAY ABOUT THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE? When They See Us, directed by Ava DuVernay, revealed Antron “is happily married


and a proud father of six. “He resides with his family in Atlanta, Georgia. He was the first of the accused men to leave New York City.” Raymond Santana has since founded his own apparel


company called Park Madison NYC. When They See Us revealed Raymond is also “the proud father of a teenage daughter, Melleah.” Yusuf also moved to Georgia in the years after his release. The


Central Park Five member is now a published author and public speaker, “advocating for policy change in the criminal justice system.” WHERE IS WHEN THEY SEE US FILMED? Kevin Richardson moved


to New Jersey where he now lives with his wife and two daughters. He joined the rest of the Central Park Five and the When They See Us cast on set in New York to meet the actors who would


portray him in the Netflix series. Korey Wise still lives in New York City and is the only member to do so. He founded and established The Korey Wise Innocence Project in 2015 to help those


wrongfully convicted with legal counsel. Since the series was released on Netflix, prosecutor Elizabeth Lederer and District Attorney Linda Fairstein both came under heavy criticism.  All


five men spoke out about life in 2019 in the build-up to When They See Us’ release. Raymond Santana Jr told CBS News he still thinks about the incident “every day - it’s constant.” WHEN THEY


SEE US FULL SOUNDTRACK REVEALED Yusuf Salaam said it’s his “second or third thought every day.” When asked how the money received from the settlement affected their lives by CBS, Raymond


responded: “We were able to relocate, to put our children into better situations.” “But besides that, no [the money didn’t make it better].” Yusuf also said: “No amount of money could’ve


given us our time back.” _WHEN THEY SEE US IS AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON NETFLIX NOW._
