Arrest of Bow Therapist Shakes Local Community

It's a story that, frankly, leaves you a bit stunned, especially when it involves someone in a position of trust right here within our community. The news has begun to spread through Bow, New Hampshire, that John F. "Frank" Clark, a local therapist, has been arrested on very, very serious charges.

Clark, known for his practice "Clark's Therapeutic Massage" in Bow, is now facing accusations of aggravated felonious sexual assault. The allegations themselves paint a deeply disturbing picture, involving an adult female client and an incident reportedly taking place back in January of 2023. It’s certainly a situation that leaves many with questions, and perhaps a knot in their stomach.

Following his arrest, Clark was released on what's called personal recognizance bail – meaning he promised to appear in court without having to put up money or property at this stage. This brings us to the formal legal steps being taken: an arraignment has been scheduled for June 27th, and he's expected to appear in Merrimack County Superior Court to formally answer to these charges.

The Bow Police Department has been diligently investigating this case, working to uncover the full scope of what transpired. In the wake of such serious accusations, and understanding that details are often complex, they’ve made a public appeal. If anyone out there has further information, or perhaps concerns of their own related to this matter, they are strongly encouraged to reach out.

Specifically, Detective Josh Kimball is the point of contact, and he can be reached directly at 603-228-0511. It's a testament to the police work that they're pursuing all leads, and one can only imagine the courage it took for the alleged victim to come forward. For a community that relies on trust, especially in therapeutic settings, these developments are profoundly unsettling, and the legal process will now unfold to determine the truth of what occurred.
