	Matias Reyes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Five other men, all under 18, were convicted the crime in 1990, based on confessions that were later drawn into doubt.
		When Reyes confessed to the crime in 2002, they were exonerated of the crime.
		Reyes's claim was that he participated in the rape— which was confirmed via DNA evidence— and that he acted alone, which has neither been proven nor refuted.

		Reyes said he made contact with the Manhattan District Attorney's office in February and described meeting with A.D.A. Nancy Ryan and informing her of his sole responsibility for the attack.
		"Matias will tell you that the fight that they had at Rikers Island was when they first met and the fight had to do with control of the television." Reyes has said, according to Rawlins's report, that he has encountered Wise twice, once during the altercation and for about five minutes at another facility.
		According to reports, investigators are now exploring four scenarios: that Reyes acted alone as he says he did; that he was with a group that attacked the jogger; that he attacked her before or after she was attacked by a group.

		Reyes claims the jogger was wearing headphones and was unable to hear him over loud music as he ran along behind her. When she turned onto a dimly lit shortcut path, he picked up a tree branch and hit her on the head. Reyes dragged her into the bushes, stripped her and raped her.
		Then Reyes found the jogger's keys and asked for her address so he could rob her house, he told ABC. When she did not answer and tried to escape, he savagely beat her with a rock. Reyes claims he left the park wearing the jogger's Walkman, with her blood soaking the bottoms of his pants.
		Maybe Reyes did act alone, as he claims. But, as others have suggested, maybe he attacked the jogger after the group was done with her. Or maybe he was the only member of a larger group to leave behind physical evidence.

		Matias Reyes, then 18 years of age, was also in the park on the night of April 19, 1989.
		Reyes either joined in the attack as it was ending or waited until the defendants had moved on to their next victims before descending upon her himself, raping her and inflicting upon her the brutal injuries that almost caused her death.
		The newly discovered evidence of Matias Reyes' involvement in the jogger's rape, upon which the dismissal of the defendants' cases was based, casts no new light on the question of whether the police interrogations were properly conducted.

		Reyes, 31, already serving life for other convictions, cannot be prosecuted in the jogger case because the statute of limitations has expired.

	village voice > news > Speculation Gone Wilding by Dasun Allah
		The resistance to the conclusion that Reyes acted alone and that the Central Park Five are innocent has its roots in the media perpetuation of the imagery of animalistic frenzy afforded by the wilding wolf pack theory.
		Reyes also mentions details about the Walkman that was in the jogger's possession and items, such as a Velcro case and two keys, that are consistent with the jogger's recollections of her personal effects.
		A wound on the woman's face was linked to a ring worn by Reyes and the manner in which she was tied is similar to the binding of another Reyes victim.

	Botched Investigation, Botched Justice
		In light of the confession of Matias Reyes, the world now knows that the NYPD and the Manhattan district attorney’s office badly botched their investigation into the rape and near murder of the Central Park jogger on April 19, 1989.
		Had Reyes, an imprisoned murderer and serial rapist, not confessed in January 2002, we would not know today that he was the missing Central Park rapist — of both rapes.
		Reyes had spent nine of his 13 years in prison at APPU, which mainly houses notorious inmates who might be targets for inmate abuse.It has only 260 beds and one of the lowest inmate/correction officer ratios in the system.

		Reyes had either joined or followed the pack that night as the teenagers roamed through the northern reaches of the park, hitting bicyclists, beating up a homeless man and attacking another runner.

		It may have been, as a former inmate-acquaintance claimed Reyes told him, that the attack on the jogger was already in progress when Reyes joined, attracted to the scene by the jogger’s screams.
		We adopt the view that the most likely scenario for the events of April 19, 1989 was that the defendants came upon the jogger and subjected her to the same kind of attack, albeit with sexual overtones, that they inflicted upon other victims in the park that night.
		Perhaps attracted to the scene by the jogger’s screams, Reyes either joined in the attack as it was ending or waited until the defendants had moved on to their next victims before descending upon her himself, raping her and inflicting upon her the brutal injuries that almost caused her death.

		Reyes told investigators he raped the jogger, crushed her skull with a rock and left her for dead.
		Over the past year, the defense had said Reyes' confession, along with police knowledge that he had attacked another woman in the park two days earlier, were sufficient to nullify the rape convictions.

		Reyes was identified as a possible suspect in the April 17, 1989 rape, and was later arrested, in August, 1989, for another rape and murder to which he ultimately pleaded guilty.

		Reyes knew that the statute of limitations for prosecuting him for the jogger rape had expired, and he knew that the state’s updated DNA databank program would link him to the crime eventually, so he did the Muslim strongman a favor in return for some protection in the slammer.
		Reyes told prosecutors that the victim ran from him after he raped her, an assertion that the report says is “probably not correct.” The 58-page report to Judge Tejada does not mention that Reyes did not recognize the crime scene.
		Matias Reyes was deeply confused about the details of his sex attack on a woman in Central Park on April 17, 1989, even though he was being questioned about it only 4 months after the crime was committed.

		But earlier this year, Matias Reyes, a convicted serial rapist and murderer, made a startling claim from his prison cell: he said that he alone had raped the Central Park jogger.
		Matias Reyes's confession is substantiated by the DNA, and our clients's statements were coerced by one means or another," Roger Wareham, the lawyer for three of the five, said yesterday.
		He strenuously denies that the confessions were coerced and believes Reyes's modus operandi as a rapist - acting alone, with advance planning - does not fit the facts in the jogger case.

	TalkLeft: Why Do the Innocent Confess?
		Posted by Forbes Tuttle at September 26, 2002 04:54 PM It is possible, certainly, that Reyes is the lone "rapist" in the clinical sense, as it is apparently his DNA from the crime that has been matched.
		The credibility of this story that he was the lone attacker is questionable because at the first trial the defense used the argument that the Jogger had sex with her boyfriend--as the source of the semen (DNA).
		Reyes is a multiple violent offender (which makes his statements suspect), I believe I've read, and this interview is likely a publicity stunt to garner sympathy for a huge monetary settlement with the city of New York for those convicted in the Jogger case.

	Newsday.com: Psychologist: Reyes Capable Of Raping Jogger
		The forensic psychologist who interviewed Matias Reyes after he was charged in an unrelated rape and murder case said yesterday that Reyes would have had no problem sexually assaulting the Central Park jogger if he had found her lying unconscious.
		Berrill said Reyes' past behavior, as well as his violent tendencies, suggest that he could have also attacked the jogger alone and then left her near death in the park.
		Reyes' upbringing, Berrill said, left Reyes with "enduring feelings of inferiority" and a propensity to indulge in fantasies, such as his desire to possess magical powers and be a "superhero one day, like Iceman."
