A former Vernon RCMP officer accused of possessing child pornography won't be back in court until mid-September.

Ryan Hampton faces nine counts, including two of possessing and accessing child pornography, six counts of breach of undertaking for contacting his ex-wife when ordered not to, and one count of attempting to obstruct justice by allegedly telling her not to contact police.

Hampton alleges his former wife, Valerie Little (a fellow officer), framed him during their marriage breakup.

The 10 day Supreme Court trial was supposed to wrap up last Friday but it has run long, and Justice Barry Davies decided to adjourn proceedings until September 16.
