Outrageous statement of DA forced to retire after bragging about his sexiness while insulting colleagues’ looks

A former Oregon prosecutor sexually harassed his colleagues by sending them shirtless photos and bragging about his sex life, an investigation has found.

Bracken McKey, 53, also insulted the appearance of his colleagues and discussed the attractiveness of applicants, the report said.

The former prosecutor went on sick leave last September, around the same time the investigation was launched. Oregion Live reports.

But McKey has so far refused to apologize, instead issuing a self-pitying statement questioning why the report was released considering he retired from the $247,000-a-year job in April.

In a statement, McKey said he is grateful for the “difference I have been able to make in the lives of crime victims” but asked why Washington County published the report “more than a year after I left the office.”

He downplayed his behavior as friendly banter and said he never meant to offend anyone.

However, the damning report found that Bracken consistently made colleagues feel uncomfortable by insisting on sharing topless photos of himself.

McKey,’ shared multiple, unsolicited, shirtless photos of himself, described his body as ‘impeccable’ and bragged that he ‘dated multiple women who all wanted to have sex (with him)’ because he looked ‘so good’ after his weight loss, the report shows.

Eleven people interviewed by investigator Camille Hughes reported witnessing McKey make inappropriate, sexual, and/or derogatory comments about the bodies, weight, and clothing of previous or current applicants and employees at the Washington County District Attorney’s Office.’

All those interviewed said McKey often talked about his dating life, even bragging about having sex with “seven women in seven days,” despite repeated requests to stop.

One person told Hughes that McKey labeled some applicants as “fat,” “ugly,” “lazy” or “too flamboyant” to be taken seriously as plaintiffs, while allegedly commenting on someone else’s tanned legs and buttocks.

Two people reported that Hughes called another coworker a “lazy fat bastard” in front of other employees.

While two others said he joked about another staff member’s sex life with other prosecutors and also made an off-color comment during the hearing of a sodomy case.

Hughes wrote that many people avoided speaking about their concerns, “for fear of retaliation or diminished professional opportunities.”

She added that the 11 women and men interviewed “were afraid to file complaints against Mr. McKey because of his influence on their ability to participate in high-profile lawsuits, which in turn affects their ability to advance in their roles as prosecutors would limit. ‘

McKey said it was never his intention to offend anyone, but questioned why the report was released when he had since retired

McKey declined to be interviewed for the investigation, according to notes in the report.

“In regards to this investigation, I have had private conversations with people who I thought were my friends, and it was certainly not my intention to offend anyone,” he said.

He said the conversations took place “in the context of decade-long friendships.”

McKey was at the top of District Attorney Kevin Barton’s administration.

Barton said he initiated the investigation “immediately after receiving a report of conduct that violated human resources policy.”

“Our focus going forward is on our mission to seek justice and protect the community,” Barton said, emphasizing that the revelations have no bearing on any case.

McKey owns his own law firm and lives in a Portland home worth $960,000, according to his LinkedIn.

“Washington County is committed to providing a work environment that is fair, civil, respectful of the dignity of every person, and free from all forms of unwelcome offensive conduct that could affect an individual’s terms and conditions of employment,” said spokeswoman Julie McCloud .
