Former North Dakota Senator Ray Holmberg faces sentencing for traveling abroad to sexually abuse children, as detailed in a recently released court document. The document outlines Holmberg’s history of exploiting young men, including high school and university students, as well as legislative staff members. Holmberg signed a plea deal suggesting a prison sentence of 37 months, while prosecutors argue for the full range of 37 to 46 months due to his predatory conduct. The defense is expected to request a time-served sentence.
The memo also mentions Holmberg’s exploitation of male University of North Dakota students and hiring a staff member for the purpose of sexual activity. Holmberg used state taxpayer funds to travel to Prague, where he engaged in illicit activities. The prosecution described his actions as corrupt and aimed at serving his own ends. Holmberg’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 26, where Judge Daniel Hovland will decide his fate. The case has sparked concerns and calls for justice from various parties, including the North Dakota Democratic-NPL.
