A state senator in Oklahoma and the former state chair of President Donald Trump's electoral campaign, Ralph Shortey, is facing child prostitution charges and will resign, the Associated Press reported. Shortey was arrested last week when police found him with a 17-year-old boy from at Super 8 Motel. State prosecutors charged Shortey with engaging in child prostitution, transporting a minor for prostitution and engaging in prostitution within 1,000 feet of a church. He was released on a $100,000 bond.
