FLINT, Mich. -- Prosecutors want a judge to seal some court records in a sexual assault case involving former Michigan State basketball star Mateen Cleaves after his accuser's name was made public this week in a court filing.

The Wayne County prosecutor's office filed the motion Tuesday, the same day a judge canceled a hearing to determine whether the case would go to trial.

Cleaves' attorney Frank Manley said in a motion that Cleaves' accuser is a member of a Wayne County child sexual abuse task force and wants the judge to disqualify the Wayne County prosecutor from the case.
