Police said Wednesday that four people have accused a Little Rock doctor and church mentor of sexual assault.
James Nesmith, 53, was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with one
count of second-degree sexual assault, according to a police report.
Lt. Michael Ford, a Little Rock police spokesman, said Wednesday that
a church pastor had reported allegations against Nesmith to the Child
Abuse Hotline in 2015. According to Ford, the pastor reported that four
people said they were sexually assaulted by Nesmith.

Court records show that the Rev. Tim Reed at Covenant Presbyterian
Church reported in December 2015 that he had become aware of
"allegations of sexual abuse against a mentor within their church." The
affidavit said the minister reported the allegations to the Child Abuse
Hotline.
According to an affidavit, Reed reported that "several teens within their congregation" had said Nesmith touched their genitals.
