Wendel Palmer pleaded not guilty to the allegations; prosecutors said that the abuse took place between 2004 and 2006, when the girl was between the ages of 11 and 13, but was only reported last March. In 2004 Palmer, who joined the force in 1990, was suspended for conduct unbecoming of an officer after taking a woman who complained about a domestic dispute out to a restaurant.
