"Sexual stuff"

Former Oklahoma State Sen. Ralph Shortey was ordered by a judge Thursday to pay more than $125,000 in restitution to an underage victim he bought for sex.

Shortey, a Republican who served from 2011 to 2017, plead guilty in 2017 and was sentenced last year to 15 years in prison for child sex trafficking.

During Thursdays final court appearance in the months long case, Shortey learned from U.S. District Judge Timothy Deguisti that he would pay restitution to his victim, according to local outlet Newsok.com.

Shortey resigned from his office in 2017 after he was caught in a motel room with a 17-year-old boy he had offered to pay for “sexual stuff.”

While the age of consent for sex in Oklahoma is 16, Shortey broke federal laws by offering to pay the teenager.

How many other Congress critters haven't been busted yet?

And don't forget, your president has been accused of raping a teenage girl, which isn't at all far-fetched when you know his proclivities and his close relationships with Roger Stone and Jeffrey Epstein.

There have long been barely-under-the-surface stories about DC elites and sex trafficking, most famously involving George HW Bush and the Reagan White House, but as recently as 2015 a State Department employee was busted on a child pornography charge. (A Daily Beast article in 2015 claimed "at least 22 current and former local, state, and federal employees have been convicted of crimes ranging from distributing child pornography to conscience-shocking acts of violence against infants."  That's just the convicted ones.) Sarah Kendzior mentioned the Reagan White House scandal in her latest podcast, claiming she'd just recently heard the stories. Hopefully, some day, a light will be shone and the truth just as acceptable as priests committing child abuse is now.

Prosecutors also asked the judge for an additional $410,000 in restitution for the victim for lost future income, arguing the victim "did not complete high school, largely because of the trauma and victimization caused by the defendant."

The judge denied that request.

Shortey's attorney, Ed Blau, said the restitution order was fair and that Shortey would not be appealing.

No, I bet not! Shortey got off very lightly. Another way of elites protecting their own.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
