Authorities say the child, who was less than 13 years old, told the Bucks County Children's Advocacy Center detailed accounts of Frank's sexual abuse in the summer of 2017 when the child was under Frank's supervision at his house.
Law enforcement then arrested Frank in October 2019.
He retired from Philadelphia police in 2018 after 20 years with the department.
