BISMARCK, ND — North Dakota Republicans are calling for former Republican State Senator Ray Holmberg to go to jail.
North Dakota GOP Chairwoman Sandra Sanford issued a statement calling for Holmberg to be jailed after he admitted to traveling abroad to sexually abuse children. Holmberg had pleaded guilty earlier the same day in North Dakota U.S. District Court to traveling to Prague, Czechoslovakia where the alleged offenses occurred.
Federal prosecutors alleged that Holmberg had used public funds to travel to Prague multiple times to sexually abuse adolescent children between June 2011 and late 2016. The 80-year-old Holmberg stepped down from the State Senate in 2022.
