West Virginia Delegate Faces Federal Charges | Charleston News
Description
West Virginia Delegate David Elliott Pritt, 36, faces federal charges for allegedly enticement of a minor and engaging in sexual conduct with a student during his time as a middle school teacher. The accusations, which began in summer 2025, include explicit messages on Roblox and Snapchat, physical encounters in his classroom, and continued communication—including requests for explicit photos—until July 2026. Pritt is also alleged to have threatened the student to stay silent. The case, triggered by a family report in early July, could see him appear in federal court on July 27. His Republican colleagues have called the allegations disturbing, and the situation remains under active legal review.
