According to Tulsa World, the ongoing investigation of former state Sen. Ralph Shortey found evidence that he posted several Craigslist ads “attempting to solicit young males for sexual contact.”
“Need a boy or bromance,” two different Craigslist ads read. “Looking for younger the better (legal) white or mixed.”
The FBI reveals he received “hundreds of pornography emails and communications with individuals encountered via Craigslist.”
Allegedly, he also emailed innumerable photos of himself and his wife “to various individuals in connection with arranging sexual encounters.”

Shortey was charged last week with four felony child porn counts. He’d already been charged in March after being caught in a hotel with a male teen escort.
Shortey also had a history of filing exceedingly strange bills while in the state Senate.
Greatest hits include a proposed ban on putting human fetuses in food products, and “an ordinance authorizing homeowners to shoot down drones.”
He also authored several anti-immigrant bills, which proposed denying US citizenship to any baby born of undocumented parents.
According to the head of Equality Oklahoma, Shortey once assured him he’d leave the Senate chamber during an important vote on an anti-transgender bill.
Shortey reportedly appeared at his desk and voted for it anyway.
During the GOP primary, he was the state Trump campaign chairman.

Self-hate is the most dangerous, it always hurts others.
Donston
We can’t just blame everything on self-hate. The man clearly has issues extending beyond that.
Kieran
Ha ha. Trump’s campaign chair is a big FAG!! Does it get any worse than that?
ChrisK
He doesn’t identify as a gay man and is sexually attracted to children. He’s a Pedophile. Also, according to Roan he’s a Racist too since he’s only attracted to white boys.
Donston
He’s actually has ephebophilia attractions not pedophilia-based, as he specified that he wanted guys of legal age (though he still ended up trying to net a 17 year old. And yes, I’m aware that it’s legal most places).
Still, men who only have attraction to guys in the their late teens and early twenties are less likely to self-accept or are more likely to eventually self-reject. From a practical standpoint, you can’t build a life with someone in their teens. They won’t stay that young forever. Also, those types of men tend to be more likely to have megalomaniac instincts. The fact that he’s a political just makes it even more likely

Good point there, Sherlockston. “less likely to self-accept or are more likely to eventually self-reject.” What happens next? Self-destruction?

No @Donston, he stated “Legal” in the Craig’s List ad probably because the site wouldn’t let him put it up there if it was obviously a hunt for children. However the fact that he has multiple child porn charges going on shows that that is not what he was looking for.
So the Trump Campaign chairman is a racist which is fine with the Trump organization, but he’s also a pedophile. Which would also probably be ok with the Trump folks except it plays bad in the fake media so they’ll pretend to be upset by it.
I bet this guy was against prison reform, so in a normal court he would have a nice long time to get an inside look at the Oklahoma Prison system, however the GOP judge he gets will probably let him off.

Why is anyone shaming this guy for anything? Hunting around online for a hook-up is the bread and butter of Grindr and Scruff and all the other sites. And, I’m sure many of the Queerty readers are doing this exact same thing. Are we now saying that Trump supporters are supposed to be nuns? This “article” is just a bunch of hater fu*ckery. Congrats to this guy for trying to get his mouth filled with boy jizz. There’s nothing illegal about that.
