The next scheduled court date in the case of Husker running back Maurice Washington — who faces two charges in California, including a felony — won’t take place until after the first football game of the season.

Washington’s next hearing date, a preliminary examination setting, is Sept. 3 in Santa Clara County Superior Court. That’s three days after the Huskers’ season opener against South Alabama on Aug. 31.

The September date was set during a hearing Thursday.

Nebraska coach Scott Frost said at Big Ten media days last week that Washington has been working out with teammates over the summer, but the coach would “wait and see” how the case is resolved before making any decisions.

“I don’t think camp’s going to be an issue,” Frost said. “He’s already been doing some with spring ball and working out with our team. So I don’t think any decision would have to be made because of his legal issues being unresolved until the first game.”

Washington, 19, is accused of sending a 10-second video that showed a 15-year-old girl performing oral sex, to that girl, his former girlfriend, years later.
