Eaton Vance Exec Jobless After Flashing Arrest

Article published on March 24, 2009

Eaton Vance's marketing chief lost his job this month after being charged with exposing himself to female college students, and he may face a raft of related charges, the Boston Herald reports.

Stephen Barrett, 40, was arrested March 11 at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Mass., and charged with flashing students, according to the Herald. Two days later, he was out of work at Eaton Vance. Company officials are not commenting on the reasons for his departure.

Wellesley police tell the Herald they now suspect Barrett in at least five reported flashings on the campus dating back to September. If convicted, Barrett would be required to register as a sex offender.

Barrett had been marketing chief at Waddell & Reed and the Ivy Funds before coming to Eaton Vance less than a year ago. He has also worked at Mackenzie Investment Management, Forum Financial Group and Fidelity.

He was arraigned and released on personal recognizance. His house in Wellesley was put up for sale last week for $1.02 million, about $20,000 less than what Barrett paid for it six months ago, the Herald also reports.
