A married Republican state senator told a teenage prostitute he wanted to have sex with his “boy pussy”, graphic court documents have revealed.

Oklahoma state Senator Ralph Shortey, a senior member of Donald Trump’s primary campaign team in Oklahoma, is facing child prostitution charges over an incident earlier this month.

The Republican politician, who is married with children, was discovered in a hotel room with a 17-year-old boy who, according to authorities, Shortey had hired as a prostitute. The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16, but the state’s child prostitution law applies to people under 18.

Shortey surrendered himself to face charges and has resigned from the state Senate.

Court documents this week included an affidavit that revealed some of the graphic details of the case.

According to the affidavit, Shortey offered to pay the teen for “sexual stuff” so he could raise money for Spring Break.

In online messages, he told him: “I’m gonna f**k you like a good little boy if you keep calling me daddy.”

He also referred to having sex with the teen’s “boy pussy, baby boy”.


Appearing at Cleveland County District Court, he was charged with engaging in child prostitution, engaging in prostitution within 1,000 feet of a church and transporting a minor for prostitution.

His bail was set at $100,000.

Prior to his resignation, the Senate passed a resolution to suspend Shortey from all committees and strip his name from all legislation. The lawmaker’s seat was empty as the vote passed unanimously.

Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Schulz said at the time: “This is not a presumption of guilt or innocence. The Oklahoma Senate has full faith that the judicial system will play out appropriately and bring this matter to a lawful conclusion.

“This resolution reserves the right of the Oklahoma Senate to pursue further action if more facts come to light.

“It would be inappropriate to comment any further due to the pending investigation.”
