As reported last month, Carl Stanley McGee was accused of having sexy time with a 15yo boy at a Florida resort. Florida prosecutors have now dropped their case against him:
For months, officials considered filing charges against Charles Stanley McGee, assistant secretary for policy and planning in Massachusetts, but were unable to make a case.
"I do not believe that there is sufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt," Assistant State Attorney Francine H. Donnorummo said in a statement yesterday. "Consistent with our legal and ethical considerations, I am therefore declining to file formal charges."
Investigators had no DNA evidence or witnesses corroborating the teenager's story, according to the statement, which outlined the problems in the case.
The 15-year-old, identified as Jonathan in the statement, said McGee, 38, performed sex acts on him in the steam room of the Gasparilla Inn & Club, a 95-year-old hotel and championship golf course in Boca Grande. Investigators were unable to locate the towels worn by either person so they could be inspected for forensic evidence linking either one to the scene. Investigators also did not gather any forensic evidence from the steam room, the report said.
That, and the fact that there were probably thousands of possible pieces of forensic evidence in a posh Florida steam room used by old creepy gay men.
McGee now wants to move on with his life:
McGee's lawyer, Charles W. Rankin, issued a two-sentence statement about the resolution of the case. "The state attorney in Lee County, Fla., after a thorough investigation, has decided that no charges should be brought against Stan McGee," it said. "Mr. McGee believes the decision by the Florida prosecutor not to pursue this case speaks for itself, and he looks forward to going on with his life."
...Mitchell Adams, a longtime friend and executive director of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, called the prosecutor's decision to drop the case "magnificent."
"This has been the most horrible situation without any basis in fact," he said.
Moral of the story: Look out for Tim Gunn look-alikes in
Carry on.

Yeah, this was pretty damn hard to swallow (pardon the pun). It isn't like some 15 year old girl accused him of doing this; that story I wouldn't believe. But it was a gay guy, on vacation/business, in a steam room, accused of sexual assault by a teenage boy. How many people out there minding their own business get randomly and wrongly accused of this kind of thing? Not very damned many!!
The one thing you can count on with child molesters is that they are incorrigible. They WILL do it again, and McGee is no exception!
We haven't heard the last from this old pervert. Then again, considering the snow job the press was doing on this (you can't even find a wikipedia article on McGee), it's possible his disgusting shenanigans will continue, outrage free.
