Elliot Hospital Nursing Assistant Charged in Alleged Sexual Assault of 8-Year-Old Patient

He was released on personal recognizance with strict restrictions pending a January 8 court hearing.

Overview

  • Manchester police arrested 25-year-old Alexander Colbath on Friday and charged him with aggravated felonious sexual assault.
  • Prosecutors say the 8-year-old girl was a pediatric patient receiving care at the time, with court records dating the incident to Nov. 29.
  • Court records indicate Colbath was taken into custody at Elliot Hospital, and a hospital spokesperson now says he no longer works there.
  • A judge set conditions including no contact with the child or her family, staying off Elliot property, and no unsupervised time with minors other than his child.
  • Police said the arrest followed a report made several days earlier, and the case is scheduled to return to Manchester District Court on January 8.
