Overview
- Alexander Colbath, 25, was arrested Friday and charged with aggravated felonious sexual assault, police said.
- Manchester police said the arrest followed a report that a pediatric patient was sexually assaulted while receiving treatment at a local hospital.
- Colbath appeared in Manchester District Court on Monday and was ordered to stay 300 feet from the child and family, avoid Elliot Hospital property, and have no unsupervised contact with minors other than his child.
- Police have not publicly identified the hospital, while WMUR reported the case involved Elliot Hospital and an 8-year-old recovering from surgery, and court records cited by CBS indicate the arrest occurred at Elliot Hospital.
- Elliot Health System said patient, staff, and visitor safety is its highest priority and referred questions to authorities, with Colbath’s next court date set for January 8.
