McGee had been taking summer classes when the alleged incident occurred. He was arrested July 25 at the Towers residence hall, 502 N. Frances St., where he had allegedly had sex with a woman from Milwaukee while she was sleeping and then attempted to dissuade her from calling the police. McGee was released from jail July 29 on bond and had a preliminary hearing August 13.
The victim said she woke up to find McGee, whom she recognized, having sex with her, according to a police report. She tried to push him away, but he was too big, the victim said in her report.
If convicted, McGee could serve a maximum of 30 years in jail.
According to the victim's statement, McGee said, "Please don't do this. You're going to mess up my scholarship. I'm going to get in trouble."
She contends he grabbed her wrist to prevent her from using the phone to call police.
McGee had signed a letter of intent in April after leading Farragut to a 22-10 record last season. He averaged 16.0 points and 6.0 assists and was honorable mention All-State. McGee led Farragut to the runner-up spot in the Hoops in the Heartland tournament in Iowa City, Iowa. McGee played in the Wendy’s All-Star Shootout for Team Chicago. He finished with five points, four rebounds and two assists.
McGee has returned to his home in Chicago to pursue other options.
“We respect Marcetteaus’ decision and will comply with his desire to be released from his letter of intent,” Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan said. “We wish him the best of luck in the future.”
The Badgers signed Jason Chappell, Ray Nixon, Alando Tucker and Maurice Wade in the fall as part of coach Ryan’s first recruiting class at the Wisconsin.
Wisconsin finished 19-13 last season and are ranked #54 preseason by College Basketball News.
