In fact, the attack took place shortly before 9 p.m. which left Meili in a coma for 12 days. She was beaten, dragged or chased nearly 300 feet, and violently assaulted. Furthermore, Trisha was later found nude, badly wounded, and she was covered in mud & blood.

Her skull was seriously cracked and 75 percent of her blood drained from her body. On the night of the offense, 4 teenage Afro-Americans and one teenage Hispanic were arrested in connection with a number of attacks in Central Park performed.

However, the FBI tested the DNA of the five teenagers with the rape kit and found it did not match any of them before the trial. Later, the defendants charged with rape, sexual abuse, assault, robbery, riot, and attempted murder.

Moreover, they also accused of other attacks in the park, based solely on confessions. But they told in a documentary that those confessions were false and coerced. In 2002, Matias Reyes confessed of raping Trisha Meili and his DNA also matched with the rape kit of the jogger.

Finally, all the falsely convicted teenagers released then. Later, they sued New York City in 2003 for malicious prosecution, racial discrimination, and emotional distress.
