The New York City Police Department conducted its own investigation of the circumstances leading to the arrest and conviction of five teenage suspects in the NYC jogger assault case.

There has been much written in the past several months about new DNA evidence in the case linking an imprisoned felow to the case. The evidence became relevant when the prisoner confessed that he was the person who had assaulted and raped the young woman in Central Park. The newly discovered evidence resulted in an uproar amongst many concerning the methods the police had used in the investigation of the case.

This report outlines many of the investigatory activities in which the police engaged and the evidence it possessed at the time of the trial. It provides the "other side of the story."
