MANHATTAN SUPREME COURT — A Manhattan jury will continue deliberations Friday in the trial of Wilfredo Rosario, a police officer charged with rape and with trying to get a sexual favor from a teenager in exchange for expunging a summons.

The jury is considering whether Rosario lured a 17-year-old girl to a corner in Riverside Park and offered to revoke her trespass ticket if she performed oral sex on him.

Rosario has been accused of sexual abuse by several other women and is facing pending rape and sexual abuse charges for those allegations. 

The rape charges are being tried separately.

The victim in the present trial, an Upper East Side dog groomer who is now 26 and married, took the witness stand Monday and testified about the  experience she still vividly remembers from her senior year of high school.

Deliberations started Thursday.
