A married Republican lawmaker is facing calls to resign after he was caught in a motel with a teenage boy.
Oklahoma state Senator Ralph Shortey is under police investigation over the incident at a Super 8 Motel earlier this month.
The Republican politician, who is married with children, had booked a room at the motel on March 9 shortly after midnight.
Responding to concerns less than half an hour later, police discovered Shortey in the room with a teenage boy, identified by police as a “juvenile”.
No arrests have been made, but police investigations are ongoing. According to local news outlets he could face charges of soliciting prostitution of a minor, prostitution within 1,000 feet of a church, and transporting for the purpose of prostitution.
Shortey was the state Oklahoma chair of Trump’s campaign during the Republican primaries.
