A Republican state senator, Ralph Shortey, is facing child prostitution charges. He was caught with an unidentified teenager at a Super 8 motel after police were called to the motel for a welfare check shortly after Shortey checked in around midnight on March 9, nydaily reported.
The 17-year-old minor was said to have marijuana on him at the time of the arrest. On Wednesday, Sen. Shortey was charged with engaging in child prostitution, engaging in prostitution within 1,000 feet of a church, and transporting minor for prostitution.
However, since the emergence of the shocking news, the Oklahoma Senate imposed sanctions on Shortey, on Wednesday, voting 43-0 for a resolution that accuses him of “disorderly behavior.”
He was stripped of all his entitlements; they removed him from membership and leadership of various Senate committees, barred him from occupying his office and reserved parking spot at the Capitol, blocked his expense allowances and authorship of bills, and revoked his right to have an executive assistant.
Mr Shortey has been married for 15 years and he is a father-of-two, he has been married to his high school sweetheart since 2002.
Meanwhile, Senate officials said Shortey will still receive his $38,400 annual salary as a senator and will be allowed to vote.
