A New York City police officer has been indicted on charges that he patronized a 15-year-old girl for prostitution and made videos of her performing sex acts, the Bronx district attorney’s office announced on Tuesday.

The officer, Raul Olmeda, 40, was suspended without pay and stripped of his gun and badge after he was arrested at his home in the Bronx around 6:30 a.m. by officers from the Police Department’s Internal Affairs Bureau, the authorities said.

Officer Olmeda was indicted on 15 counts of sexually motivated felony, the top charge, five counts of third-degree rape and other charges, officials said. He entered a plea of not guilty at an arraignment on Tuesday afternoon before Justice Steven Barrett of Bronx Supreme Court and was held on $250,000 bail. If convicted of the top charge, he would face up to 15 years in prison.

“They’re obviously very serious charges,” said Stuart London, a lawyer for the officer, who said he was “optimistic” that his client would eventually make bail. “My client vehemently denies the allegations.”
