The footballer Ched Evans is to have his rape conviction reviewed by the Court of Appeal.
The Wales football international was jailed for five years in 2012 after being found guilty of raping a 19-year-old woman at a hotel near Rhyl.
Evans, 26, was released last year after serving half of his sentence.
The Criminal Cases Review Commission referred the conviction after his lawyers lodged fresh evidence.
The former Sheffield United footballer has always maintained his innocence but his attempts to restart his career with Oldham Athletic and his former club collapsed in the face of a public outcry.
