Investigation finds Washington County prosecutor harassed colleagues with shirtless selfies and inappropriate comments

A human resources investigation found that Bracken McKey, a former Chief Deputy District Attorney in Washington County, sexually harassed colleagues by sharing shirtless selfies and making inappropriate comments about their appearances. The investigation substantiated multiple complaints against him. McKey, who retired in April 2024 after going on medical leave in September 2023, faced allegations of discussing his sex life and making body-shaming remarks. Eighteen witnesses were interviewed, and evidence included photos and text messages. The county released the investigation report following a public records request. McKey expressed gratitude for his work with crime victims and questioned the timing of the report, while the District Attorney emphasized the focus on justice and community protection.
