Mark Parenteau Gets Three Years Jailtime

April 5, 2004

Not a pretty picture for the personality who's resonant baritone and inspired mayhem were Boston radio mainstays for two decades. After pleading guilty to one count of second-degree sexual abuse of a 14-year-old boy, Mark Parenteau was sentenced to three years in prison on Friday. Parenteau had been accused of sexually abusing other youths, luring them to his home in Washington, DC with alcohol, drugs, and money in exchange for sex.

The Washington Post reports that prosecutors contend Parenteau was attracted specifically to black youths and sought them out via a DC support group for gay minority youth. He would then bring them to his home to smoke pot, drink alcohol and have sex. The activities allegedly occurred between March of 2001 and April 2003.

Parenteau originally faced an 18-count indictment, which could have led to a sentence of life in prison. However, a plea agreement was reached in January in DC Superior Court.

Parenteau's afternoon run on WBCN/Boston lasted from '78 to '98. After briefly hosting afternoons on WAXQ/New York, he began jocking and programming at XM, exiting after his legal troubles began.
 
The court system is all fucked up, they let too many evil people get off with a lite sentence because they don.t know how to do their jobs. just another example of how the perps get away with thier evil . Tom
 
Sometime we wonder who they are protecting. We know we can protect ourselves from any more abuse and in time we can gain but the control.

Take care of yourself and each other.
 
I wonder what the sentence would have been if it had been the judge's or the prosecutor's or a policeman's child.

I agree. What the f#$%)_(*^&k.
 
When I was in high school, a friend of mine was stabbed, murdered by someone else in the school. I won't go into all of the details, but he was walking the streets of our home town in 2 years. Now, I might be facing more than that for repeatedly sending abusive letters threatening to legally make the person who assaulted me's life a living hell.
They are telling me that it doesn't make any difference what they did to me. Hopefully the police will feel the same if I do get the chance to file a report against that person.
Got to love the system.
