NORTHFIELD, N.H. (AP) – A Northfield church volunteer charged with sexual assault and theft has been arrested at Kennedy Airport in New York, police said Thursday.

Scott Nash, 46, is charged with molesting three young girls who are members of Trinity Episcopal Church in Tilton and taking more than $5,000 from the church.

The girls’ ages weren’t disclosed. Nash faces three felony sexual assault charges, two of them aggravated, along with a felony theft count.

He was last seen in Laconia last week. He was arrested Wednesday night as he got off a flight from Aruba.

Church officials said Nash was a youth minister and had been with the church about five years.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – An osteopathic physician who had practiced in Easton lost his medical license permanently for developing a sexual relationship with a 40-year-old female patient, the state said Thursday.

The New Hampshire Board of Medicine said James S. Jealous, O.D., neither admitted nor denied the allegations but agreed to the revocation of his license to avoid further board action.

In an order made public Thursday, the board said Jealous was issued a medical license in July of 2001 and practiced at his home until last March. It said he had had been treating the woman in 2002 in an effort to have her stop using antidepressants.
