TILTON - A Sanbornton woman has been charged with stealing more than $100,000 from the Trinity Episcopal Church on Main Street while she was treasurer there several years ago. She allegedly used the money to pay her bills.
Christine Hersom, 40, of 754 Sanborn Road, was charged with theft by unauthorized taking, a felony, for writing checks from the church's bank account. Hersom was treasurer at the church, a volunteer position, from 1995 to 2001, according to her attorney, John Boyle of Plymouth. During that time, the police allege that Hersom paid herself more than $13,500 in salary, in addition to other offenses. ...
In February, a former Trinity Episcopal Church volunteer and youth minister was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting two 4-year-old girls and stealing nearly $4,000 from the church-run food pantry. Scott Nash, 45, of Northfield, is being held at the Merrimack County Jail on $1 million bail.
