Analysis Summary
West Virginia House Delegate Elliott Pritt, a Republican, was arrested July 22, 2026, after federal investigators found he enticed a 15-year-old girl online by messaging her on Roblox (starting when she was in 8th grade) and Snapchat, eventually sending explicit photos and engaging in sexual conduct. The state House Speaker called for his resignation, and the case is being handled as a federal charge under laws criminalizing interstate enticement of minors. Pritt also works as a teacher, according to court documents cited in local news coverage.
