Prosecutors in Oklahoma issued an arrest warrant for Republican state Sen. Ralph Shortey on Thursday after investigators said he solicited sex from a teenage boy.
Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn charged Mr. Shortey with three felony counts Thursday in connection with an investigation launched after authorities found the state senator inside a Moore, Oklahoma, motel room last week with an 17-year-old male.
Mr. Shortey, 35, has been charged with engaging in child prostitution, engaging in prostitution within 1,000 feet of a church and transporting a minor for prostitution, the district attorney’s office said Thursday.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest, local media reported, but the lawmaker’s whereabouts Thursday afternoon were not immediately known.
Thursday’s indictment was handed down a day after authorities released documents related to an incident that allegedly occurred in a Super 8 motel room last week involving the lawmaker and the unidentified teenager.
