Former youth football coach arrested, held without bail after police find videos of him sexually assaulting several young boys
Police said Sheehan’s iPhone contained multiple pornographic images of children, including some in which they appeared to be sleeping.
A former football coach from Norwell, who is also a father, has been arrested and is currently being held without bail on multiple charges of alleged sexual assaults on children that the authorities have said have been captured on video. 48-year-old Derek Sheehan had been arraigned last week on the various charges that were placed against him, which had all been based on the videos and pictures found in several electronic devices that the officers seized from his home in August. At a dangerousness hearing that took place on September 17, Sheehan was ordered to be held without bail. He had already been arrested at that point on related charges but had been out on bail with the condition of wearing a GPS-monitoring device.
