Portland’s CBS affiliate reports:
An Oregon man was sentenced on Tuesday after he assaulted a man in 2021 due to his sexual orientation. Daniel McGee, 26, was sentenced to just over 12 years in prison, along with five years of supervised release. McGee made national news in 2021 when he was charged with attacking a man he met on Grindr. In court documents, prosecutors said he used the screen name “str8 curious” and arranged to meet the man at his apartment. He said he had just turned 18 and wasn’t ready to kiss yet, but wanted to make sure they would be alone.
But when McGee arrived at the apartment, he attacked the man. He struck the victim over the head repeatedly using a small wooden club known as a tire thumper. The victim had life-threatening injuries and a large portion of his scalp was missing. McGee told detectives that he went to his apartment because he knew “demons would be there.” McGee planned the attack, including searching the internet for violently homophobic material, purchasing the weapon and searching for how to get away with murder, as well as how to dispose of a body.
