MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A former pastor at a New Hampshire church has been arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a minor.
Thirty-seven-year-old old Stephen Jesmer was employed as a pastor at The Dialogue Church in Manchester.
He was arrested Monday night on three counts of felonious sexual assault and one count of witness tampering.
Police started investigating several months ago when they were told of potentially inappropriate behavior involving Jesmer and a minor.
WMUR-TV reports Jesmer is free on $100,000 bond. It was not immediately known if he is being represented by an attorney.
