The Oklahoma Senate has suspended nearly all of Ralph Shortey's privileges as a lawmaker following revelations that police are investigating his relationship with a minor.

The vote Wednesday was unanimous.

Tuesday, The Oklahoman revealed that the Moore Police Department was investigating why Shortey was in a hotel room with a teenage boy. Police visited the hotel room on a welfare check last week when the boy's father raised concerns.

Shortey said he would issue a response but, so far, he hasn't spoken publicly about the investigation. He didn't answer the phone Wednesday and did not respond to a text message.
