LONDON โ€” Scotlandโ€™s finance minister has resigned, hours before he was due to deliver his annual budget, after he reportedly sent hundreds of messages to a 16-year-old boy on social media.

 

Derek Mackay quit Thursday, saying he had โ€œbehaved foolishly.โ€

The Scottish Sun newspaper reported that 42-year-old Mackay sent the teen more than 270 messages on Facebook and Instagram, telling the boy he was โ€œcuteโ€ and offering to take him to a rugby match and to dinner. Mackay is not accused of breaking the law.

 

โ€œServing in government has been a huge privilege and I am sorry to have let colleagues and supporters down,โ€ Mackay said in a statement.
