A Multnomah County grand jury today indicted former Black Parent Initiative CEO Charles McGee and Aubré Dickson, a banker and former chairman of the state of Oregon's Housing Stability Council.
The two men will be arraigned later this week on felony charges that include first-degree sexual assault, unlawful sexual penetration and sodomy.
McGee, 32, is charged with three counts of sexual abuse in the first degree, two counts of sexual abuse in the second degree, sodomy in the first degree and unlawful sexual penetration in the first degree. All are felonies.
Dickson, 42, is charged with two counts of sexual abuse in the first degree, unlawful sexual penetration in the first degree, and sexual abuse in the second degree.
The charges all stem from an incident on May 10, 2012, when the two men, who were friends, allegedly assaulted Erica Naito-Campbell at McGee's home. The three had met while participating in Leadership Portland, a nine-month program offered by the Portland Business Alliance beginning in 2010.
After Naito-Campbell told her story to WW ("No Way Out," Feb. 7, 2018), McGee dropped out of a race for Multnomah County commissioner and Dickson resigned his position on the state housing panel.

After WW's story ran, the Black Parent Initiative, which McGee founded, fired McGee. Dickson left his job at Key Bank, where he was a vice president of community development lending, in March.
McGee's attorney, Chris Mascal, says she has not yet had the chance to review the charges against her client. Dickson's attorney, Stephen Houze, was not available for comment. Naito-Campbell declined comment.
