Concord Woman Indicted on More Child Sexual Assault Charges

CONCORD, NH — A local woman arrested on sexual assault, gun sale, and other charges in Manchester last year has been indicted on more charges in Concord, according to the Merrimack County Superior Court documents. Kirstie Bean, 25, of Chapel Street in Concord, was indicted last month on four felony counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault as well as false report and hindering apprehension or prosecution. Between August 2015 and August 2016, according to the indictment, she allegedly had intercourse and performed other sex acts on the boy, who was 14 at the time, in Concord.

The indictment alleges that she was in a position of authority over the boy and was employed at a juvenile detention facility (the Sununu Youth Services Center) at the time of the alleged assaults.

“Bean committed this pattern of sexual assault over a period of two months or more and within a period of five years,” the indictment alleged.

On Aug. 31, 2016, the indictment noted, she allegedly gave false information to a Concord Police detective that the boy had stolen her vehicle without her consent. In November 2015, she also reportedly harbored the boy after he failed to return to the Center, police alleged.

Back in December 2016, Bean was arrested by New Hampshire State Police on aggravated felonious sexual assault, felonious sexual assault-penetration of a victim 13 to 15, handguns-sale of a pistol to a minor, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, witness tampering, and hindering apprehension or prosecution charges. The charges stemmed from alleged incidents with two teenagers, one who was 18, according to NHSP. Bean later denied the allegations, according to press reports, through her attorney, who issued a not guilty plea on her behalf in Hillsborough County Superior Court-North.

Bean is no longer employed at the Sununu Center, according to state officials.
