May 30, 2006 - Officer Thomas Lowe is charged with three counts of first-degree sexual abuse, daytime burglary, and extortion.
He was arrested and arraigned earlier today.
He posted a 10-thousand dollar bond and was released.
Sgt. W.J. Scott says this has been an ongoing investigation for about six weeks.
It started when a woman, Jennifer Goldstein, said Officer Lowe made physical contact in a sexual manner with her, after she was arrested for a DUI.
Scott said other complaints surfaced during that investigation.
Lowe is on paid administrative leave from the Mount Hope Police Department.
He will be back in court in 20 days, so a magistrate can decide if there's enough evidence to send this case to the grand jury.
