The trial for a former Hawkeye football accused of sexual assault has been delayed until next spring.

But according to the judge’s order, it is the last time a continuance will be allowed in this case.

Cedric Everson, who is charged with second-degree sexual abuse, will now go to trial after former teammate Abe Satterfield.

Satterfield, who is charged in connection with the same alleged incident, will go to trial April 12, 2010, after a series of delays.

Everson’s attorney had requested his client’s trial be held after Satterfield’s and when a judge approved moving Satterfield’s trial, Everson’s was also delayed.

Both men are accused of sexually assaulting a female student-athlete in a Hillcrest dorm room on Oct. 14, 2007.
