INDIANAPOLIS -- Prosecutors will get more time to file formal charges against an Indianapolis police officer accused of raping a 26-year-old woman while he was on duty over the weekend.

Officer Courtney Harris, 33, made a brief court appearance Tuesday morning, after which his attorney, Terrance Kinard, vowed to clear the officer's name, 6News' Derrik Thomas reported.

"He's been an outstanding law enforcement official. He's been outstanding in his community. He's a very well-respected officer," Kinard said. "These allegations are shocking and surprising to everyone who knows Courtney."

The alleged victim told investigators that she encountered Harris near 10th and Rural streets Saturday and that he followed her, grabbed her and took her to an abandoned warehouse, where he raped her.

According to allegations in court documents, the officer gave his accuser $12 and told her that's all the encounter was worth.

Authorities said Harris admitted having sex with the woman but said he was not on duty at the time and that the encounter was consensual.

After the incident, court documents indicate, the officer dropped the woman off in the 900 block of North Tuxedo Street. She told police about the incident while at the Arrestee Processing Center Saturday evening.

The victim has a criminal past, including charges related to prostitution, drugs and criminal recklessness.

"Just the mere fact that it was someone that she should be able to trust -- I just feel very sick inside about it," said the accuser's mother. "It hurts a lot."

"Sexual misconduct: that charge doesn't go with the crime. He committed rape. He needs to be charged as follows," said the accuser's sister. "No means, no."

Prosecutors are proceeding carefully as they consider what charges, if any, will be filed against Harris.

"We want to make sure we have all the information before we make any sort of decision as to if to file and what those charges will be," said Mario Massillamany, prosecutor's spokesman.

Harris was being held in the Marion County Jail Tuesday on $50,000 bond. The woman was also being held on $20,000 bond because of a 2008 warrant on charges of criminal recklessness and battery.

Indianapolis police Lt. Jeff Duhamell said Monday that Harris, a six-year veteran of the department, had been recommended for termination.
