CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A former Dunbar police officer is set to plead guilty in federal court stemming from a July incident in which he allegedly sought sexual favors from a woman in exchange for ignoring traffic violations.

Raymond O. Conley is accused of violating the woman's civil rights, according to an information filed in federal court.

A guilty plea hearing is set for Nov. 9 at 1:30 p.m., before Judge Joseph R. Goodwin, according to court filings.

"These things are always sad," said Bill Forbes, the woman's attorney. "Ninety-nine percent of police are good guys, but there are 1 or 2 percent that are bad apples. Unfortunately this young lady ran into a bad apple.

"And it's unfortunate for the city of Dunbar and other police officers who work in the Valley who do a fine job and are honest and trustworthy."

According to Forbes, the woman and a male passenger were pulled over for traffic violations. She had not been drinking and was not accused of doing so, he said.

The woman previously had been caught driving on a revoked driver's license, Forbes said.

"She gets in the cruiser and, as I understand it, the conversation begins that she can get out of trouble," Forbes said previously.

The officer told her he would not charge her with the traffic violations if she agreed to his sexual requests, Forbes said. The passenger in the woman's car is left on the side of the road, and the officer drove off with the woman in his car, he said.

"He takes her up to the end of a dark, lonely road someplace," Forbes said previously. "At which point she's afraid not to comply."

After they finished the sexual encounter, the police officer released her, Forbes said.

"Some weeks ago I was contacted by the U.S. Attorney about a plea and informed them that whatever they did was fine and we appreciate their efforts," Forbes said Tuesday.

Conley had been on administrative leave from the department. On Tuesday, Dunbar Mayor Jack Yeager said he had resigned from the department.

Forbes said the woman whom Conley allegedly sexually assaulted is having emotional problems because of the incident.

"She's not very trusting of police officers now," he said. "She's doing OK, just OK, but she'll recover."
