NEW YORK
A former New York City police officer has been indicted on charges of raping a woman in a hotel bathroom.
Prosecutors say 28-year-old Kevin Johnson was a police officer in April when he met a group of women at a Manhattan bar. They say although he was off duty he told the women he was an officer and one of them invited him back to their hotel room.
Johnson is accused of sexually assaulting another woman as she slept in the bathroom of the hotel room.
Johnson is charged with rape and sexual abuse. He faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted of the more serious rape charge. He resigned in June.
Defense attorney Stuart London says Johnson "vehemently denies the charges and looks forward to being vindicated at trial."
