PEEKSKILL, N.Y. (AP) - A suburban New York police officer is behind bars after being charged with repeatedly sexually abusing a woman while supposedly investigating a theft.

Peekskill Police Officer Michael Agovino was being held Monday on $50,000 bond after an arraignment Saturday on charges including sexual abuse and stalking.

It wasn't immediately clear whether he has an attorney who can comment on the charges, and a possible phone number for his home rang unanswered.

Authorities say the woman secretly recorded Agovino demanding sexual favors in one encounter in January.
