(AP) - A judge is holding a final case review in advance of the second trial of a former University of Delaware baseball player accused of sexually assaulting six women.

Wednesday's court hearing comes in advance of a scheduled Feb. 10 trial for Clay Conaway.

After being tried last year on a charge of first-degree rape, Conaway was sentenced to five years in prison after being convicted of the lesser charge of fourth-degree rape.

That trial involved a woman who said Conaway raped her three weeks after they connected online and Conaway sent her a nude picture of himself.
