Memory Hole: Beverly Boom-Boom

No, don't go back to his room, kid.

"Beverly man guilty of sexual assault

A Beverly man has been sentenced to up to 3 1/2 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting a Peabody boy numerous times when he was between the ages of 6 and 8. Prosecutors called the actions of Shawn Finnegan, 31, “despicable, horrific, and unimaginable’’ in Salem Superior Court Monday. Prosecutors say Finnegan was a clean-cut professional mortgage broker who befriended the boy’s older sister and his troubled family and posed as a mentor. He began inviting the boy to spend nights at his apartment, where he would molest the boy, now 11 (AP)."

The mortgage broker would have been the first clue for me.

Scum. And no, the kid can't sleep over, sorry, perv.
