North Dakota man Nicholas James Morgan-Derosier has been given a 40-year prison sentence in connection with child sexual abuse images; Morgan-Derosier has ties to former state senator Ray Holmberg.
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, 36, of Grand Forks, has ties to former Republican state senator Ray Holmberg, who is accused of traveling to Europe with the intent of paying for sex with a minor.
District Chief Judge Peter Welte also sentenced Morgan-Derosier to pay $39,000 in restitution to 13 victims and to serve a life term of supervised release. 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.
In early 2022, Holmberg, who is 80, announced he wouldn't seek reelection, but he later resigned in the wake of The Forum's reporting, after nearly 46 years in the North Dakota Senate. He was indicted last year and is scheduled for trial in September. He declined to comment on Morgan-Derosier's sentencing. 'I just can't talk about anything like this, according to — I'm following my attorney's orders,' he said.
