If there is no evidence the guy did it, and no witnesses, then there is no case. Would you rather the DA waste taxpayer money and possibly injure an innocent man?

I agree with both comments, the State Attorney’s office should hide their head in shame. However, it doesn’t suprise me, his political connections ensured no punishment. If this were any other citizen, especially someone like a policeman, and the same amount of evidence existed, they would never have received this kind of kindness from prosecutors. Instead we would have been reading about it for months as the State Attorney’s office trashed their reputations and lives.

It is a sad state of affairs.

What a surprise. The double standard rears it’s ugly head once again. If you are rich or connected, you can get away with anything. It’s so nice for him to be able to “go on with his life”. Amazing that the victim was having difficulty identifying McGee, must have been all that steam!!

There are many who have done far less spend the rest of their lives punished by a system that in it of itself is ignorant, that the laws designed to protect our children are doing the polar opposite.

To the Lee County state attorney’s office, please remember this when someone else who is not rich or connected has this happen to them, so that they can get the same preferential treatment you dished out to McGee.

Were this any other ‘ordinary’ citizen, this guy would have never seen the light of day for this charge. It’s a shame that these laws are meant to punish all sex offenders, guilty or innocent, except those with connections. Shame on you for being selective in your prosecution!
