NEW ROCHELLE, New York (AP) -- A suburban police sergeant who is married to a New York City anchorwoman was charged Wednesday with raping a 17-year-old girl hours after he helped arrest her boyfriend at her house.

Carroll said last month that the girl did not make any allegation until two days after the attack, when she visited the Westchester County district attorney's office to try to get charges dropped against the boyfriend. He said that made it difficult to gather physical evidence.
