June 22 – A Manchester gym owner has been arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting a teenage girl in the women’s locker room.
Terry Dow, 51, owner of The Training Station, 200 Elm St., was charged with criminal assault and simple assault, according to a Manchester Police news release.
The charges stem from a report made in May to the state Department of Children, Youth and Families about an alleged assault. DCYF contacted Manchester Police, who investigated and issued an arrest warrant for Dow.
Police said the report alleged that Dow picked up the girl from her home and took her to the gym to work as a volunteer cleaner. There, he entered the locker room where the girl was cleaning and “touched her inappropriately,” the release said.
“Afterwards, Dow told the teen not to tell her parents,” police said. But the girl confided in adults that day and started an investigation.
Dow turned himself in to police on Thursday and was released on bail pending a court hearing on July 25.
Police are asking anyone with information about the case to contact them at 603-668-8711.
