Oct. 11 (UPI) -- The mayor of New Jersey's gambling destination of Atlantic City and his wife pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.

The pair -- Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. and his wife, La'Quetta Small -- were indicted by a grand jury in September on accusations of physically assaulting their daughter, who was between the ages of 15 and 16 when the alleged abuse occurred.
