Anderson County, TN (WOKI) An Oak Ridge man was found guilty Monday, August 19 of several counts in a grisly Anderson County rape and murder case.

Sean Finnegan faced several charges, including first-degree murder, rape and abuse of a corpse.

The charges stem from a 2020 investigation, during which police said Finnegan and his girlfriend, Rebecca Dishman, held 36-year-old Jennifer Paxton inside their home, torturing and raping her for days before finally killing her.

The jury reconvenes Tuesday morning at 10:00 a.m. for the sentencing phase of the trial; Finnegan could face the death penalty.
