A retrial date for an ex-New Orleans cop accused of child rape is set to begin January 22nd.

NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune reports Michael Thomassie's earlier conviction was overturned on appeal last December because of text messages exchanged with a woman during jury selection that were improperly admitted into evidence.

Sixteen months earlier he had been found guilty of rape and received a life sentence.

Thomassie is accused of raping the seven-year-old daughter of a former girlfriend.
