PC Gary Scott will appear at Sheffield Crown Court on 2 November
A police officer from South Yorkshire has pleaded not guilty to sexually abusing a boy aged under 14.
PC Gary Scott, 50, is accused of carrying out three counts of indecent assault between 2001 and 2003, when he was not a police officer.
He appeared at Sheffield Magistrates' Court on Wednesday where he denied all three charges.
PC Scott, from Balby, will appear at Sheffield Crown Court on 2 November and was released on bail until the hearing.
PC Scott, who was a response officer in Rotherham, was arrested last September after a report was made to the force's Professional Standards Department.
He has been suspended from duty and faces an internal misconduct investigation alongside a criminal one.
