THREE men, convicted but later cleared of the 1989 attack of a jogger in Central Park, will file a federal lawsuit seeking $50 million in damages for each of them, said their lawyer on Sunday.

A JUDGE dismissed the convictions yesterday of all five men who served years in prison for the 1989 rape and beating of a jogger in Central Park, a crime that exposed the city’s racial tensions and made national headlines.

Five men jailed for the brutal rape of a jogger in New York’s Central Park in 1989 are expected to have their convictions overturned tomorrow after another man confessed to the crime.
