Ralph Shortey
Body Camera footage, released this week, shows the moment police raided the hotel room occupied by former Oklahoma State Senator Ralph Shortey and his underage victim.
In the body camera footage, Shortey appears dumbfounded as he is caught with the underage boy in his room.
The officer says, "He's 17."
Shortey replies, "Okay."
The officer then asks, "What do you mean, 'Okay'?"
"I didn't know that," replies Shortey.
"Can you show me that he is only 17?" Shortey says in the video.
Ironically, and in poor taste, the senator was wearing a t-shirt referencing the Bible scripture Ephesians 5:22, which refers to wives submitting to their husbands. Under the scripture was the phrase, "Now go make me a sandwich."
Shortey was known as the "family values" senator.
Comment: Not only is this a humiliating and politicized decision by the IOC, but they also showed how petty and low they were by deciding to give the Russian delegation a copy of the Schmid report on Russian doping just minutes before the delegation is set to meet with the IOC executive committee and defend themselves against the findings of the report. Clearly the IOC did not want the Russians to be able to make any kind of real defense. The IOC is showing itself to be a tool of Western political interests who are intent on making Russia look bad in whatever way they can.
