A Memphis police officer has been charged with attempted rape of an acquaintance at her home last month, the Shelby County DA's Office said Thursday.

Bradley Paul Henthorne, 36, was also indicted by a grand jury on a charge of aggravated sexual battery.

Bond was set at $25,000, according to a news release.

Henthorne, who has been with the department nine years, has been relieved of duty, said Memphis police Lt. Karen Rudolph.
