IOWA CITY (AP) - The Johnson County Attorney's Office must release a list of documents in a sexual abuse case involving two former Iowa football players no later than Oct 1.

Judge Mitchell Turner ruled on Wednesday that Assistant Johnson County Attorney Anne Lahey could not keep the documents sealed. He's ordering prosecutors to produce a list of their documents, known as a Vaughn Index.

The documents are related to the county attorney's investigation of an alleged sexual assault on Oct. 14, 2007. Two former University of Iowa football players, Abe Satterfield and Cedric Everson, face charges in the case.

Satterfield has been charged with third-degree sexual abuse and second-degree sexual abuse, aiding and abetting. Cedric Everson, 19, stands accused of third degree sexual abuse.

The men are scheduled to stand trial Nov. 3.
