An Oklahoma state senator will bow to calls to resign after he was charged this month with several counts of child prostitution, his lawyer says.
Senator Ralph Shortey has been facing calls to quit since when he was caught with a 17-year-old boy in a motel in Moore on 9 March.
Mr Shortey will resign on Wednesday, says his attorney Ed Blau. Shortey served as Donald Trump's state chairman
But even if found guilty of the child sex charges, he will still be eligible to collect his state retirement package.
