Oklahoma Senator Caught In Hotel Room With Underage Boy


Oklahoma Senator Caught In Hotel Room With Underage Boy

Family Values: Christian conservative and Republican state Senator Ralph Shortey is busted with an underage boy in his hotel room; police recommend 3 prostitution-related charges.

Senator Shortey, a member of Donald Trump’s leadership team in Oklahoma, will be charged with soliciting prostitution of a minor, prostitution within 1000 feet of a church, and transporting for the purpose of prostitution, according to a report filed by KOCO News.

Shortey was found with a teenage boy in a motel in the town of Moore on the night of March 9, after an anonymous tip was made to police requesting for a welfare check on the hotel room.

Lt. Kyle Dudley told NewsOK.com:

On March 9 … officers of the Moore Police Department were contacted in reference to a welfare check at a local hotel. 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.

Shortey, 35, represents Oklahoma City. Elected in 2010, the senator is a prominent Christian conservative in Oklahoma politics, known for being a birther, and a Trump supporter. Raw Story reports Shortey was the state chair of President Donald Trump’s campaign during the primary elections.

According to reports, Shortey “attended Heartland Baptist Bible College in Oklahoma City in preparation for mission work in Uganda,” before beginning his political career.

Before being busted with an underage boy in his hotel room, the anti-abortion, Christian conservative made national news in 2012 when he proposed a bill that would ban human fetuses from being used in food.

It's called overcompensation. Much like Trump with his beauty contests. (Despite the claims to the contrary, this POTUS is as gay as a pink-rhinestone cell phone case.)

Why is it that politicians get caught all the time regardless of their faith, or lack of.

Non Christians, and practicing Christians find this to be ugly.

Pig piling is one thing, but knocking Christians as being hypocrites is just another hack job on your part.

I believe it is probably less that it is always the evangelicals that are caught. I think is is more rewarding to report something sensational than that the brush salesman was naughty.

I'm a Christian. I have little problem with Christian bashing on this topic.....WE deserve it. I say we, however you probably wouldn't be able to tell so much as I disagree with the kind of Christian described in the OP.

I don't know how it happened, and I am no Biblical scholar, hell I was 42 before I walked into a Church. Bt I have not been able to find anywhere in the Bible that because we follow the teachings of a Jewish Carpenter we get to tell people how to live. In fact, I read this guy as more "live and let live". I notice with the adulterous woman he said no more than "sin no more" and let it go.

So the criticism is valid as what others do is none of our business
 
As he should be.

As he was a minor, the anonymous welfare check, I would hope the Authorities would go tooth and nail after anyone who knew of this, refused to report it as they enabled this sick bastard.

Again...

It's about the hypocrisy...these pious so and so's, denouncing sex outside of marriage getting caught with their dicks in boys IS news and it always will be. We know we are bad, we know we sin, we don't have to be told...so when we are preached to a though the preacher is this perfect example of Biblism it is NEWS.

This brand of "faith" is foreign to me, explained in an earlier post; but we ALL like to see the arrogant and the pious get their due!

Those dammit! "....avoid THOSE republican politicians...."

My first thought wasn't about religion or the lack thereof. No, my first thought was, as someone mentioned earlier, "overcompensation."

The darker one is inside, especially a public figure in the camera eye, the more they try to appear righteous, all too often. Perhaps, that is why the bibles tell you that preachers are fools.

The more evil they are inside, the more they have to appear blemishless. And when one reaches the level of birther-ism one has to wonder about the yen to the yang. When one rides the religious right night-train, you gotta wonder just what evil sins they are trying to hide to have to overcompensate to such a level?

They are snake-oil salesman, after all. We should all know this by now.

As to why such moral atrocities tend to migrate towards the conservative politician, I don't know. Perhaps it's the republican politicians that are known to sell that particular brand of snake-oil their customers prefer. But it's not like the democrats don't have their "sins" too. But I do have to admit, it seems the republican politicians are leading the pack these days as far as moral decay issues go. The stump and preach on righteousness, to appeal to their customers, and cloak their secret sickness.

My second thought was, is this fake news? Was it his son? A nephew or other family member? The article said the facts are not all in.

I think it is more the bigots with their ghoulish sensationalism that rather arrogant, though, there might be some hypocrisy in the not yet caught evengelicals as well.

"Of all the bad men, religious bad men are the worst" - C.S. Lewis
 
It makes me very sad when I even hear of allegations of an underage kid being used for sexual favors. There has been a lot in the news about teachers having sex with their students lately and they are going to jail. Before that there was the scandal of priests involved in the Catholic church abusing boys. Two professions right there a parent wouldn't normally concern themselves interacting with their children. But not so much these days.

So far the report says he was caught with an underage boy in a hotel room. That doesn't look good.

The fact that he is a Republican is only fodder for the left who are not being honest with the history of their own sex scandals within the party.

The difference between a Republican and a Democrat in regard to these things is Republicans will immediately throw one of their own under the bus for such actions. Democrats, not so much.

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R) was sentenced to 15 months in prison and ordered to pay $250,000 to a victims' fund in a hush money case that revealed he was being accused of sexually abusing young boys as a teacher in Illinois. The 74 year old admitted in court to abusing several young boys as their wrestling coach. Of course this didn't happen until long after he left office but while he was in office there were rumors running rampant that some of his male aides were living with him in his Washington residence eluding to something else. You haven't heard a Republican mention the name Dennis Hastert in a long time.

Now compare that to Rep. Barney Frank (D). The outspoken Massachusetts Democrat hired a male prostitute who ran a prostitution service from Frank’s residence in the 1980s. Only two Democrats in the House of Representatives voted to censure him in 1990. This happened the same time Hastert was Speaker of the House. And another case that happened around the same time was Former Rep. Gerry Studds (D). He was censured for sexual relationship with underage male page in 1983. Massachusetts voters didn't seem to mind because they returned him to office 6 more terms. Did the voters even know about Studds censure and behavior related to it? Could be because when it comes to reporting on politicians the MSM is very selective on who they report on and who they do not.

Remember the Gore/Edwards ticket in 2004? Edwards was a former senator of N.C.. They ended up losing but not after a tumultuous fight in Florida and managing delaying Bush's administration to get up and running. But it doesn't stop there with Edwards..... he became a candidate in the Democratic primary for president in 2008. All the MSM knew of his affair and love child during the primary but decided not to report on it. His affair had been going on for sometime while his wife was fighting for her life diagnosed with cancer. They did not report on it until well after the Democratic primary. And that was spurred by the fact that Edwards' wife died. What a POS.

But what did the MSM do? Well they finally reported the story "briefly" while quickly changing the storyline to one Governor Mark Sanford (R). Mark Sanford had his email hacked and it revealed he was having an affair with some hot babe in Venezuela. That story of course was the lead for months on the MSM which ultimately brought Mark Sanford to admit his infidelity and resigned his post as governor. BUT! after all the smoke cleared and the makings of this story was revealed, S.C. voted him to serve as their representative in the House.

You know if Anthony Weiner was a Republican, his story would be the headline in much of the MSM.

All this doesn't take away of the underage being abused by those who are in some form of power whether church, Democrats or Republicans or anyone else. I hope they catch every SOB. As a mother and a grandmother if any of my children or grandchildren faced that kind of abuse of people in authority, I'm afraid I would be their worst enemy.
 
Prostitution within 1000 feet of a church is an actual crime? But what if it's one of their own like here? And why do they protect their own then?

And mission work in uganda where they passed a "kill the gays" law...we couldn't find a high enough tree in oklahoma to hang this bastard. Recommend using a california redwood

But yeah, it's not about him. The talibornagain just need to give up the ruse that they give a damn about the children or that they're the pious ones, or that they have the first clue about what is pious to begin with
 
State Senate removes Ralph Shortey's privileges amid investigation into motel stay with boy - Tulsa World: Capitol Report

Bull****.

Civilized folk let the process work, and only punish after guilt has been determined.

He only gained those privileges by pretending he was morally above reproach, by lying about his sexual proclivities and condemning everyone else who failed to meet the standards he also fell short of. Had he been honest, never would've gotten the job

But in the sense that tons of others in the republican and religious ranks are guilty of the same, i agree they have no room to lynch him now
 
I am trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Is there any more information out there?

When I google search, I mainly get the fetus is not food bill.
