Ex-Nursing Assistant Now Faces 34 Felonies as Manchester Police File 24 CSAM Counts

The latest counts involve victims other than the child who reported a Nov. 29 assault at Elliot Hospital.

Overview

  • Manchester police added 12 counts of manufacturing and 12 counts of possessing child sexual abuse images after analyzing Alexander Colbath’s phone.
  • The case now totals 34 felony charges across four matters, with additional offenses alleged on dates between July and September.
  • Court records say some images appear to have been taken in medical settings at Elliot Hospital, depicting juvenile females in bathrooms or on hospital beds, with at least two videos meeting the legal definition of child sexual abuse material.
  • A separate Concord case stems from a family who hired Colbath to babysit, where investigators say he recorded himself inappropriately touching children and interacting with them during bathroom activities.
  • Colbath remains in custody and is no longer employed by Elliot Health System, and police say the investigation continues with a request for information from the public.
