GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP) - A Delaware judge is holding a final pretrial conference in the case of a former college baseball player accused of sexually assaulting six women.
Wednesday’s case review with attorneys follows the judge’s decision in late July to sever the trials involving the women Clay Conaway is accused of attacking.
The judge said a key issue in each case is whether the victim consented to sexual intercourse, and that when consent is a core issue, evidence of other sexual offenses is generally not admissible.
The judge also denied prosecutors’ request to admit evidence of Conway’s similar interactions with other women to show his motive, intent, and state of mind.
Conaway is a former University of Delaware baseball player. He is accused of raping the women between September 2013 and July 2018.
