A former North Dakota state senator who resigned after it was discovered that he had texted with a man accused of possessing images of child sexual abuse has now been charged himself.
Ray Holmberg, a Republican who had been in office since 1976, was one of the country’s longest-serving state lawmakers when he resigned in 2022. That resignation came after he was allegedly found to have had extensive communications with Nicholas Morgan-Derosier, who pleaded guilty in September to child sex abuse charges and is now awaiting sentencing.
