MOORE — An Oklahoma state senator offered money to a teenage boy for "sexual stuff" and was found with him in a hotel room that reeked of "raw marijuana," authorities said.

A Moore police report on the early March 9 incident was turned over to prosecutors Wednesday afternoon. A decision on the filing of criminal charges is expected Thursday, said Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn.

State Sen. Ralph Shortey, 35, and the teenager admitted to police that they had engaged in conversations "pertaining to sexual activities in exchange for money," a police detective wrote in a court affidavit for a search warrant.

The affidavit identified Shortey only as R.S. and the teenager by initials, but Mashburn has confirmed that Shortey is the adult under investigation. Both names were redacted in the police report.
