West Virginia House Assistant Majority Leader and high school teacher David Elliott Pritt has been arrested and federally charged with enticement of a minor, according to a criminal complaint filed in the Southern District of West Virginia.
The complaint alleges that Pritt, 36, warned the then-15-year-old victim that exposure would 'open up hell in our lives'. It sets out an alleged pattern of grooming that began on Roblox, later moved to Snapchat and escalated into alleged physical encounters in classroom settings during the 2025 school year.
