A top official in the Patrick administration has been placed on unpaid leave because he was arrested in Florida and charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old male in a steam room at a $500-a-night Gulf Coast resort.
According to police reports, McGee was arrested Dec. 28 and accused of performing oral sex on the 15-year-old, who was a guest at The Gasparilla Inn & Club, a 95-year-old hotel and championship golf course in Boca Grande. McGee was held overnight on a $300,000 bond.
Few state employees were aware of the arrest. An account had appeared in the local newspaper, the Boca Beacon. McGee's co-workers said they had been told he was out sick.
McGee, whose annual salary is approximately $150,000, could not be reached for comment. His lawyer, Charles Rankin, did not return phone calls from the Globe.
Kofi Jones - spokesman for McGee's direct supervisor, Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Daniel O'Connell - issued a brief written statement saying, "Mr. McGee was placed on administrative leave effective January 7, pending the outcome of the matter."
McGee, a former Rhodes scholar and Harvard Law School graduate, was previously a corporate lawyer at the law firm WilmerHale.
He was instrumental in the movement seeking to defeat efforts to overturn legalization of same-sex marriage, serving as director of the civic and business outreach efforts of the advocacy group MassEquality.
A year after same-sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts in May 2004, McGee's wedding to John Finley IV was highlighted in the "Vows" section of The New York Times. Former state senator Jarrett T. Barrios officiated.

Posted earlier, but the picture of this flammer makes it OK.
BFD.....character matters....this perv looks like a gay Max Headroom in this first pic.
Sheesh!
Howie’s gonna have a field day with this one.
I think he applied to be a Boy Scout leader. He said he always had a lot of fun on overnight campouts...
Dang! He looks a lot like Florida’s “Mr. Suntan” (Gov. Crist) who may be on tap to be McCains’ running mate. :)

He looks like Max Headroom.
Typical Massachusetts Democrat.
What are the odds that Barney Frank knows him?
LOL...he’d set off the gaydar within fifty miles of his worthless carcass. We really need to bring back hanging for these pedophile predators.
This man is the heart and soul of the Democrat party.
“What are the odds that Barney Frank knows him?”
Knows in the biblical sense?
Well, he’s a Democrat, and they don’t have any moral standards. So you can’t accuse him of being a hypocrite.
McCain had better think of a Negro VP. I think Condi or Watts would be great. They are both intelligent, both very conservative and are WONDERFUL people who have achieved on their own before they entered government. They are both very strong Christians and are honest.
Barnie probably knows him very well.
I’ve heard Condi’s name mentioned more than once. McCain will probably be dumb enough to pick the one (I mentioned) that will bring him an October surprise.
