A shocking incident involving a prominent figure in West Virginia politics has emerged, raising concerns about the safety and wellbeing of children in educational environments. David Elliott Pritt, a West Virginia House of Delegates representative and a Republican, is alleged to have used online platforms to engage in inappropriate behavior with a minor, according to a federal affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital. Pritt, who has represented Fayette County's District 50 since 2022, switched parties from Democrat to Republican in 2023. State House Speaker Roger Hanshaw expressed deep concern over the allegations, stating, "These shocking, disgusting, and disappointing developments warrant an immediate response from the West Virginia House of Delegates. Speaker Hanshaw called for Pritt to resign from his positions in the House."
The fate of David Elliott Pritt, the embattled West Virginia politician, is now in the hands of the House of Delegates. In the wake of these distressing allegations, Speaker Roger Hanshaw is taking swift action to protect children in West Virginia schools. However, Fayette County Schools have remained silent on the matter, failing to provide a comment to Fox News Digital's request.
