Gorham man accused of kidnapping, sexually assaulting North Conway teen
Editor's note: Nathaniel Kibby has been indicted on 205 counts in connection with the alleged kidnapping of a North Conway teen in 2013. There were 200 charges issued by a Coos County grand jury and five by a Carroll County grand jury, according to a press release from the N.H. Judicial Branch Wednesday afternoon. Some of the charges involve alleged sexual assault. The Conway Daily Sun is not naming the victim because, as is our policy, we do not name juvenile victims or victims of sexual assault. Further, we believe that because this case was so high profile, naming this victim is unnecessary and would do her further harm.
