Concord Couple Arrested After Child Sexual Abuse Images Investigation
CONCORD, NH — A couple from Concord were arrested last week after a child sexual abuse images investigation in the South End.
On July 10, Concord police and the NH Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force searched a home on Bow Street across from Rollins Park as part of a multi-month investigation also involving the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Division for Children, Youth, and Families. After the search, Dylan Simms, 27, of Centre Street in Concord was arrested on three felony distribution of child sexual abuse images charges. Also arrested was Meredith Simms, 36, of Bow Street in Concord on a felony count of tampering with witnesses and informants and a hindering apprehension or prosecution charge.
According to court documents, the videos involved a woman sexually assaulting a boy and sexually assaulting a girl, as well as a girl performing gymnastics, without wearing any clothes, in a lewd manner. After the arrests, documents involving the case were sealed due to its disturbing content. The case started after a cyber tip in February, according to police.
Dylan Simms was held on preventative detention and was arraigned Monday in Concord District Court; Meredith Simms was released on personal recognizance.
The criminal history of Dylan Simms dates back about a decade to when he was a homeless teen in the area, according to posts on Patch and court documents.
Those charges include felony criminal mischief, controlled drug: obtain-buy fake drug, possession of amphetamine, receiving stolen property, unsworn falsification, false report to law enforcement, possession of prescription drugs without a script, possession of controlled drugs, unlawful possession of alcohol, and warrant arrests.
According to Meredith Simms’ LinkedIn profile, she is or was employed as a visitor services assistant at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center, a popular local attraction for children. Jeanne Gerulskis, the executive director of the center, did not return an email seeking information about Meredith Simms’ employment status at post time. According to Meredith Simms’ Facebook page, the couple were married in 2019. She was previously arrested for theft in November 2019 and theft in October 2011 in Concord.
Police, in a Concord Regional Crimeline alert, said the department was continuing to investigate the case and asked anyone with information to contact Det. KristieAnn DeSilvio of the Criminal Investigations Division at 603-225-8600. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through the Concord Regional Crimeline at 603-226-3100 or online at www.concordregionalcrimeline.com.

TRAENE Fitness Pickleball Brings Pickleball Courts And Wellness Options To Dover
Dover, New Hampshire is finally going to see something go into the old Ames Building, (same plaza as Hannaford) at 833 Central Avenue. It’s not just “something,” it’s a Community space we didn’t know we wanted.
Justin Grondahl is the owner of TRAENE Fitness & Pickleball and he’s opening one here in Dover. He has 63,000 square feet to make beautiful. Justin is the son of the co-founder of Planet Fitness that started right here in Dover, New Hampshire.
Justin spent some time with me here in the Townsquare Studios and told me everything we can expect.
You will not believe what he has in store for this place. It makes me want to move to Dover. (although it’s like my 2nd home – I’m here all. the. time.) Check out what his plans are:
- 10 indoor pickleball courts
- 3,000 Square Foot Classroom for Megaformer Pilates Classes
- 20,000 square feet of just gym equipment
- 2 Cold Plunges
- 3 Saunas, with three floors. Lots of people can fit into them
- Big Locker Rooms
- Red Light Beds
- Massage Chairs
- Massage Beds
- Tanning Booths
TRAENE Recently Added a Peptide Clinic to their Plans
If you are unfamiliar with peptides, they are chains of amino acids that help you heal injuries, build muscles and in some cases, lose weight.
After Justin told me all this, I asked if they will have food and drinks too because it was the only thing I could think of that they didn’t mention! He said, “yes, we’ll have something.”
What’s Up With the Penguin?
When Justin came into the studio, he had a TRAENE branded shirt that included a penguin. When I asked him why a Penguin, he said that it has always been his favorite animal because they are very tied to their Community. They never really leave and they are always together.

Justin is already under construction of TRAENE. He said they should be open in the Fall of 2026.
Another incredible perk of being part of the TRAENE community is they are going to pick between 10 – 15 Members of the Month who are going to get rewards like:
- Renting out a race track
- Limo service to Bruins or Celtics games, whichever the member chooses
These trips will be all paid for, all free, Justin said.
New Fitness & Pickeball Center Opening Up in the Fall of 2026 in Dover, NH
As soon as I hear about when TRAENE is opening, I’ll let you know and you and I can get our pickleball team together. Justin did say sometime in the fall, but no specific date.. yet.
