Former police officer in court

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A former Dunbar police officer was in federal court Monday to face charges of violating a woman's civil rights.

Raymond Conley didn't have any comment as he left the courthouse. He was there for a plea hearing, where he was expected to plead guilty, but the hearing was pushed back to Nov. 19.

Bill Forbes, the victim's attorney, says Conley abused his power and took advantage of a young woman.

Forbes says Conley pulled the victim and her boyfriend over this past summer. The woman alleges Conley told the boyfriend, then asked her to perform a sexual act on him. In exchange, he offered to not charge her for driving on a suspended license.

Forbes says Conley took the woman to a remote hollow, and she did what he asked because she was scared.

Conley has resigned from the Dunbar Police Department.
