Feds join investigation into Sen. Ralph Shortey

The FBI has become a part of the investigation of Oklahoma State Senator Ralph Shortey, who is facing prostitution charges.

Agents were seen carrying boxes from Shortey’s home over the weekend.

Shortey has been charged with engaging in child prostitution, engaging in prostitution within 1,000 feet of a church and transporting a minor for prostitution.

Shortey later turned himself and bonded out.

The senator’s colleagues quickly passed a resolution to remove him from all committees and to strip his name from legislation.
