Maryland State Legislator and Sponsor of Child Protection Laws Sentenced to Three Years for Child Pornography

Former Republican legislator Robert A. McKee, 59, has been sentencing to more than three years in prison for possession of child pornography. McKee was not just a First Christian Church trustee and executive director of the Hagerstown Big Brothers Big Sisters — he was a key sponsor of the Child Protection from Predators Act this year.

He was facing a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He expressed regret and contrition at the hearing: “In the eyes of the law, I committed a crime. In the eyes of God, I committed a sin.” McKee is unmarried but the legal guardian of a 16-year-old girl in 2006, who he met and adopted the girl through his work with Big Brothers and Big Sisters.
