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.

Shortey was ordered to pay restitution to the victim for psychiatric and psychological care.

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.
