Annapolis, MD – This morning in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court, Christopher Steven McGee, age 36, of Gambrills was sentenced to twenty years in prison, the maximum sentence allowed by law, for second-degree rape by the Honorable Judge Pamela Alban. He must also register as a Tier III sex offender for life. Judge Alban convicted McGee following a three-day bench trial that ended on August 1st, 2025.
Following the sentencing, State’s Attorney Anne Colt Leitess commented, “This young survivor showed tremendous courage, and the evidence made unmistakably clear that McGee posed a serious and ongoing threat to children. The court’s sentence reflects the gravity of his actions and the danger he presents. Our office will always stand with survivors of sexual abuse and work tirelessly to safeguard those who cannot protect themselves.”
In December 2023, investigators with the Anne Arundel County Police Department launched a child sex abuse investigation involving Christopher McGee (then age 34) and a 12-year-old female. The investigation revealed a pattern of grooming and manipulation by the defendant to convince the child to engage in a relationship with him. Detectives were able to collect physical evidence corroborating the defendant’s behavior, including a photograph of him kissing the child and explicit social media communications. The detectives were also able to locate a nude photograph of the Defendant in the victim’s possession.
At trial, the State called a witness who was previously sexually abused by McGee when she was 12-years-old in 2011. The abuse took place in Texas where McGee had been stationed with the U.S. military. McGee served seven years in prison for aggravated sexual abuse of a minor and sodomy in that case. He was also dishonorably discharged from the military.
The State was represented by Assistant State’s Attorney Sean Fox. Anne Arundel County Police Detective Katerina Brummitt and Child Protective Services conducted the investigation.
