Today the Black Parent Initiative, the local non-profit led by Charles McGee since its founding in 2006, announced it was firing McGee in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
Here's a statement from the organization:
The news comes a week after WW reported allegations of a 2012 sexual assault, allegedly committed by McGee and another man, Portland banker Aubre Dickson.

The BPI put McGee on administrative leave on the eve of the story's publication to do its own investigation and today, the organization apparently decided it had learned enough.
Meanwhile, WW reported today that the Portland Police Bureau has opened a criminal investigation into the allegations against McGee and Dickson.
McGee took his Facebook page down after the Feb. 7 story detailing allegations against him and Dickson by Naito-Campbell, as well as reporting on other incidents from his past. Yesterday, McGee restored that Facebook page to "unequivocally deny" the allegations against him.
