‘Really poor judgment’: Another day, another pedophile story. But hold the presses! It doesn’t involve a priest. The Boston Herald is reporting that former WBCN-FM disc jockey Mark Parenteau, who was a big fixture on the local rock scene for decades, was arrested on Friday for having sex with a 14-year-old boy and is facing first-degree child sexual abuse charges in Washington, D.C. ... My favorite quote from the article: ``If he did what they say he did, it's really, really poor judgment,'' said longtime WBCN disc jockey Charles Laquidara. A really, really powerful observation, Charles. ... Second favorite quote: ``This appears to be a man who has a secretive life,'' prosecutor Sharon Marcus-Kurn told a judge. Hmmmm, as opposed to doing it in the context of a non-secretive life?
