As Leroy Jethro Gibbs once said, on NCIS, when he was ‘questioning’ some young college kids, he “will not do well in prison.”

I have to admit, when I first saw this tweet from Steve Keeley of Fox 29 News, my first thought was, “This guy had to go after underaged girls?”

U.S. Marshals capture Pa. man accused of sexually assaulting underage girl in NJ

Shane Hennesy, 22, of Delaware County, Pa., is accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl in Pine Hill, New Jersey

The U.S. Marshals captured a Pennsylvania man who had been a fugitive for more than two months after he sexually assaulted an underage girl in New Jersey, officials said.

Shane Hennesy, 22, of Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, was taken into custody around 6 a.m. on Friday, April 25, 2025, in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, according to investigators. Members of the U.S. Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force, Camden Division and the U.S. Marshals Service Eastern Pennsylvania Violent Crimes Fugitive Task Force, Reading Division made the arrest.

Police said Hennesy sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl in Pine Hill, New Jersey, between December 2024 and January 2025 after the two met online. He was charged on Feb. 20, 2025, with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child. He had been on the run since the charges, officials said.

So, he’s been on the lam for the past two months. He could run, but, in the end, he couldn’t hide.

WPVI-TV reported that Mr Hennesy assaulted the girl between December 2024 and January 2025 after the two met online. According to the criminal complaint, he climbed through the girls’ bedroom window while her parents and siblings were asleep, assaulting her in her own bed, and staying in the room for hours before leaving through the window.

The Philadelphia television stations were all over this story, three days ago when the police were searching for him, and now, since he was captured. Those media outlets are free, but, oddly enough, The Philadelphia Inquirer, which costs me $5.49 per week, billed every four weeks, had nothing on the story, at least as of 3:28 PM EDT on Friday. I would have thought that our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper, the winner of twenty Pulitzer Prizes, and the ‘newspaper of record’ for the region, would have had something on the pursuit of a dangerous sexual predator. Heck, Mr Hennesy isn’t even black, so the self-proclaimed “anti-racist news organization” wouldn’t even be violating publisher Elizabeth “Lisa” Hughes’ edicts. For what are subscribers paying? Why should they shell out their hard-earned euros for a newspaper — in my case, digital only — that won’t publish the news?

The newspaper certainly went all out on the sexual abuse of minors when the predators were Catholic priests; why not when the (alleged) offender is just a regular guy?

My far too expensive Philadelphia Inquirer subscription. I could use a senior citizen’s discount right about now.

But, I digress. NBC 10 also published some selfies the accused took, presumably for use in his online stalking of young girls, and let’s face it: the dude is handsome! There’s no way this guy didn’t get laid every week in high school, if he wanted. Yet here he is, 22-years-old, old enough to get into the pick-up bars if he wanted, and he’s (allegedly) seeking out and seducing kids. We don’t know if the 12-year-old he (again, allegedly) assaulted is his only child victim, but if he went fishing for young girls, he might well have caught more than one.

If the accusations are accurate, this dude is just plain sick. There’s no way that anyone in the United States with an IQ above room temperature doesn’t know that sex with a minor, and in this case (allegedly) with a minor who wasn’t even a teenager yet, is against the law, is a serious, serious felony, a go-to-prison felony. To even try it is indicative of one thing in particular, a sociopathic/psychopathic disorder, one that has to have such a dangerous person removed from society.

And this pretty boy? Like Mr Gibbs said, he will not do well in prison!
