A Naugatuck police officer accused of extortion has resigned from the police department.
David Reilly is accused of using the Internet to extort money from a Wallingford woman in order to pay gambling debts.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Reilly threatened to send humiliating information about the woman's sex life to her employer and parents.
The mayor's office confirmed Tuesday that the 40-year-old Reilly, who joined the police force in 1996, had resigned.
Reilly has pleaded not guilty to charges of extortion, coercion and computer crimes and is due back in Meriden Superior Court on March 8. He is free after posting a $25,000 bond.
