A federal judge on Thursday sentenced a North Dakota man to 40 years in prison in connection with child sexual abuse images. Nicholas James Morgan-Derosier also must pay $39,000 of restitution to 13 victims and serve a life term of supervised release.
BISMARCK, N.D. — A federal judge on Thursday sentenced a North Dakota man to 40 years in prison in connection with child sexual abuse images.
An indictment in January 2022 charged him with six counts of possession of materials containing child sexual abuse images and other offenses including receipt and distribution of child sexual abuse images, transportation of child sexual abuse images, transportation of a minor and travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual activity.investigators found thousands of images and videos of child sexual abuse on devices at Morgan-Derosier’s home during a warranted search.
“The monstrous conduct of this defendant towards children makes this strong sentence an appropriate one,” North Dakota U.S. Attorney Mac Schneider said in a statement. “This defendant preyed on kids online and in real life, and the public is safer now that he is in the long-term custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.”
Holmberg and Morgan-Derosier exchanged dozens of text messages in August 2021 when Morgan-Derosier was in jail for child sexual abuse charges, according to reporting by The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead. Holmberg told The Forum the messages were about “a variety of things,” including patio work by Morgan-Derosier.
