	Former NH Episcopal Priest Arrested Boston Globe July 7, 2011 http://www.boston.com/news/local/new_hampshire/articles/2011/07/07/former_nh_episcopal_priest_arrested/ A former Manchester, N.H., Episcopal priest is facing felonious sexual assault charges involving two incidents with a child under age 13. Bedford police charged 78-year-old Franklin Huntress of Marblehead, Mass., after a two-month investigation into incidents in the 1980s. Police say Huntress was arrested on June 30 and extradited to New Hampshire, where he was arraigned Wednesday in Hillsborough County Superior Court. He was released Thursday on $25,000 cash bail. At the time of the incidents, Huntress lived out of state but was invited back for a community function. Police said Huntress served at Grace Church in Manchester from 1971 to 1975. Police declined to elaborate on the crimes or victims. Huntress couldn't be reached immediately for comment. A jail official couldn't say whether he'd retained a lawyer.
