Former Maryland Del. Robert McKee pleaded guilty Friday to possession of child pornography. McKee, 59, faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison at his Nov. 21 sentencing.
The Republican from Hagerstown admitted in court that he had obtained the child pornography in 2004 through the Internet and a mail order service. McKee printed images of child pornography from the Internet and printed stories describing sexual acts between young boys and other young boys or adult men, according to prosecutors.
Authorities arrested McKee early this year after a female who lived with McKee told police that she found child pornography. Authorities seized up to 150 images of child pornography, including images of prepubescent children.
McKee had been a House delegate since 1994. He was also the executive director of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Washington County from 1978 until his resignation earlier this year.
