Teacher who served as GOP state lawmaker allegedly used Roblox to lure student into sexual relationship

A West Virginia teacher who also served as a Republican member of the state House of Delegates has been charged after allegedly using the online gaming platform Roblox to groom a teenage student before engaging in a sexual relationship with her at school. The case is significant given the defendant's dual role as an elected lawmaker and educator, raising concerns about safeguarding and the misuse of a platform popular with children.

According to a federal affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital, David Elliott Pritt, 36, represented Fayette County in the West Virginia House of Delegates. He is accused of contacting the student through Roblox as part of an alleged grooming process, which prosecutors say later led to sexual acts occurring on school premises. Further details of the charges and legal proceedings were not fully specified in the available report.
