PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A Portland police officer has been accused of placing sexually explicit and harassing calls from his department-issued cell phone.

According to court documents, 28-year-old Joseph Wild made sexually harassing calls during his patrol shift to three female Portland police officers.

The documents also allege Wild harassed civilians, including a 16-year-old girl he had once taken to a facility for missing juveniles.

Wild pleaded not guilty yesterday to charges of official misconduct and telephonic harassment.
