Nebraska State Senator Dan McKeon Cited for Public Indecency at Lincoln Party

Nebraska State Senator Dan McKeon has been cited for misdemeanor public indecency after a woman reported he inappropriately touched her buttocks over her clothing at a party held at the Lincoln Country Club in May. The allegation, reported to law enforcement in September, led to the issuance of a citation by the Nebraska State Patrol, and the case has been forwarded to the Lancaster County Attorney's Office. McKeon, a Republican from Amherst elected in 2024 representing District 41, has declined to comment on the incident. State Senator Megan Hunt has publicly called for McKeon's resignation, stating that elected office is a public trust and should not be a shield for misconduct, criticizing McKeon's representation and professionalism. McKeon is scheduled to appear in Lancaster County Court in December, and as of now, no resignation has been tendered. The incident has drawn condemnation from colleagues and highlights ongoing concerns about conduct and accountability among elected officials.
