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

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

Bracken McKey, 53, also insulted his colleagues looks and discussed the attractiveness of job applicants, per the report.

The ex-public prosecutor went on medical leave last September, around the same time that the investigation was launched, Oregon 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 was able to make in the lives of crime victims’, but asked why the Washington County published the report ‘more than a year after I left the office’.

He downplayed his behavior as friendly banter and said it was never his intent to offend anyone.

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

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

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

All the interviewees said that McKey frequently discussed his dating life, even boasting about having sex with ‘seven women in seven days’, despite repeated requests to stop. 

One person told Hughes that McKey branded some job applicants, ‘fat,’ ‘ugly,’ ‘lazy’ or ‘too flamboyant’ to be taken seriously as prosecutors, while he allegedly made comments about another’s tanned legs and buttocks.

Two people reported that Hughes called another colleague a ‘lazy fat ass’ 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 remark while reviewing a case about sodomy. 

Hughes wrote that many people avoided speaking up about their concerns, ‘for fear of retribution or diminished professional opportunities’.

She added that the 11 women and men who were interviewed, ‘feared making complaints against Mr. McKey because of his influence over their opportunities to participate in high profile court cases, which would in turn limit their ability to progress in their roles as prosecutors.’ 

McKey said he never meant to offend anyone but questioned why the report was released when he has since retired

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

‘As for this investigation, I had private conversations with people I thought were my friends and it certainly wasn’t my intent to offend anyone,’ he said.

He said that the conversations occurred ‘in the context of decade-long friendships.’

McKey was among the top brass in District Attorney Kevin Barton’s administration.

Barton said he instigated the probe, ‘immediately upon receiving a report of conduct inconsistent with personnel policies.’

‘Our focus moving forward is on our mission of seeking justice and protecting the community,’ Barton said as he insisted the revelations have no bearing on any cases.

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

‘Washington County is committed to providing a work environment that is fair, civil and respectful of each person’s dignity and is free from all forms of unwanted offensive conduct that may affect an individual’s terms and conditions of employment,’ spokeswoman Julie McCloud said.
