An investigation is to be carried out into possible miscarriages of justice in a case where three men were convicted of gang raping a woman.
Brian Meighan, David Pugh and Kevin Kane denied the offence in Edinburgh in 2000, claiming the 21-year-old woman had consented to group sex.
Three experts have now challenged evidence given by the Crown's forensic expert at the time.
The men's cases have now been referred to the High Court.
On 31 October 2000, the three men, who were aged 24, 23 and 19 at the time, were convicted of raping the woman at a flat in Gilmerton.
