Detroit news outlets are reporting that former Michigan State basketball player Mateen Cleaves will stand trial on felony charges, including criminal sexual conduct.
In March of 2016 Cleaves was charged in connection with an alleged sexual assault of a 24-year-old Michigan woman.
The woman alleged she tried to get away from Cleaves but was sexually assaulted at a hotel near Flint in September 2015. A witness confirmed she saw the woman try to escape. Police say the woman never indicated that she was assaulted.
In December a judge dismissed all charges against him, saying that there wasn't enough evidence to send him to trial.
Wayne County prosecutors filed an appeal to that decision. Now he'll stand trial.
