[EricMaundry]

Oklahoma state Sen. Ralph Shortey is facing numerous charges from Moore police after he was caught in a Super 8 Motel room with a minor boy.

According to KOCO reporter Bret Buganski‏, police are recommending the Republican lawmaker be charged with soliciting prostitution of a minor, prostitution within 1,000 feet of church and transporting purpose of prostitution.

“On March 9 … officers of the Moore Police Department were contacted in reference to a welfare check at a local hotel,” Lt. Kyle Dudley told NewsOK.com. “Responding officers found a juvenile male in a hotel room which was also occupied by an adult male. The circumstances surrounding this incident are currently under investigation and no additional information can be released at this time.”

An employee of the hotel confirmed to KOCO that a man named “Ralph Allen Shortey” checked in at approximately 12:20 a.m. asking for a room with two beds. Just 30 minutes later the police arrived responding to a “welfare check,” though no one has come forward admitting to the call.

No one has been arrested and no charges have been filed, but text messages between the boy and Shortey are being investigated by police. Shortey’s legislative office door was found to have a note saying that he would be gone for the week.

Shortey was the state chair of President Donald Trump’s campaign during the primary elections.

“I am proud and honored to have been tapped as Chairman of the campaign for Oklahoma,” Shortey wrote on his Facebook Sept. 2015, according to The Lost Ogle. “We are very excited for the opportunity to have Mr. Trump here,” he said announcing a rally for Trump at the Oklahoma State Fair.

4. As it's bad, I shouldn't enquire about a detail but..

..wtf does this mean: "prostitution within 1,000 feet of church"

What has the distance of a church, or a newsstand, or a florist, to do with an offense?

[Maru Kitteh]

6. That is a law on the books in many bible-belt states.

and as you can see, still enforced.

How those laws have stood I do not know.

7. Here's an answer

Much of Tennessee law is typical among the states, such as the low misdemeanor penalties associated with most prostitution charges, but a higher felony charge for pimping. However, Tennessee has a unique prostitution provision that increases the penalty of prostituting or patronizing a prostitute within 100 feet of a church or 1.5 miles of a school for K-12 children.

9. 1.5 miles of a school for K-12 children???

Gee, I hope for the ladies involved they have a reliable geolocation service that calculates the distance from schools as an automated feature..

[uppityperson]

10. "The ladies involved"? This was a man and a minor male.

What about the men involved soliciting prostitutes of any gender? Or does it all fall on "the lady"?

Or male prostitutes?

Prostitution is gender free, on both sides.
