Shrewsbury Firefighter Accused of Inappropriately Touching Babysitter Arraigned

SHREWSBURY, MA — A Shrewsbury firefighter charged with indecent assault involving his 15-year-old babysitter was arraigned on Tuesday in Central District Court.

Sean Bohdiewicz, 6 Paul Revere Road, Auburn, was released without bail, reports the Telegram and Gazette.

Bohdiewicz, who was arraigned on charges related to making inappropriate comments and touching the teenaged babysitted, denies any wrongdoing. His lawyer questioned how a Masslive reporter knew of the charges before he did.

Bohdiewicz, who works for the Shrewsbury Fire Department as the Student Awareness of Fire Education coordinator, allegedly made comments about the size of the babysitter’s breasts and buttocks, and also asked about her sexual experiences, according to Justice to Children Without Voices.

The girl went to the Auburn Police Department on Jan. 24 with her mom, reporting alleged actions that included comments and grabbing her on several occasions, reports MassLive. Bohdiewicz also allegedly jumped into bed with the teenager and her friend, who slept in the spare bedroom in the Auburn home because Bohdiewicz and his wife were out late. The teenager allegedly pushed him off.

Bohdiewicz is due back in court on March 28.
