POWELL, Wyo. (AP) - A judge has delayed the trial of a former Powell police officer who is accused of using his position of authority to get a woman to submit to unwanted sexual contact.
The Powell Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/KYN4GW ) former officer Kirk B. Chapman was set to go to trial Feb. 22 on a felony count of third-degree sexual assault, but District Judge Steven Cranfill has pushed the start date to May 21.
Chapman’s attorney says all the attorneys involved had scheduling conflicts.
Chapman is accused of stopping by a woman’s home while on duty in September 2011 and sexually touching and rubbing against her. He was suspended after the report and later resigned.
