Scotland: Minister texting a minor - Resigned

The report states that the minister and the teenager exchanged almost 270 messages in a period of six months. In fact, in some of them he appears to call the young man "cute" while in other messages he invites him to dinner and a rugby match.

The 42-year-old politician, who after his divorce from his wife in 2013, had openly declared that he is gay, submitted his resignation from the government at the expense of the revelations. "I take the responsibility. "I acted foolishly," he said in a statement.

The 37-year-old mother of the 16-year-old boy is the one who brought the issue to light. "If I saw him I would ask him why he did that. "I can not imagine what would happen if my son gave him an answer he did not want to hear," the woman told the Scottish Sun. She claims that her son informed Mackay of his age and in a message told him "not to try anything else" but he insisted.

It is noted that Mackay was preparing today to present the budget of Scotland for 2020.
