ESPN will air an updated version of its story about former UA track and field coach Craig Carter, who was recently sentenced to five years in prison for assaulting and stalking a student athlete.
ESPN first aired the episode called "Track and Fear" on "Outside the Lines" last May, when Carter had not yet gone to trial.
The updated story will appear on an episode of "E:60" that will air at 6 a.m. Sunday on ESPN2, and repeat several times throughout the day, starting at 8 a.m.
Carter was sentenced May 14 to five years in prison, after he was convicted in March of choking former University of Arizona thrower Baillie Gibson, while also threatening to cut her face with a box cutter. The pair had previously been involved in a sexual relationship.
Carter pleaded guilty in April to charges of stalking and violating a protective order. In the days following the 2015 incident involving the box cutter, Carter sent Gibson dozens of text messages and emails, some of which were threatening.
Despite Carter's recent prison sentence, the case is far from over. The former coach is still embroiled in a civil lawsuit filed by Gibson against he and the UA, saying that school officials knew about the illicit relationship, but failed to take action. The UA employee handbook explicitly forbids relationships between faculty and students over whom they have a supervisory capacity.
ESPN reporter Jon Barr tweeted Thursday that the updated episode takes viewers inside the courtroom for Carter's "emotional" sentencing hearing.
