The new details emerged as prosecutors outlined their reasons for the judge to impose a roughly three-year prison sentence and lifetime supervised release for former state senator Ray Holmberg, 81. He pleaded guilty last year to travel with the intent to engage in illicit sexual activity. He faces up to 30 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and lifetime supervised release.
The new court documents say Holmberg used his positions as a high school guidance counselor and state lawmaker to exploit vulnerable youth and young men for decades, and cite numerous messages the prosecutor said show some of his countless arrangements to pay for sex with young men while traveling, often while on state business trips.

The article doesn’t say that he’s a Republican because we all know right away that he’s a Republican.
I came to the comments for this… I was like “huh… Odd… It doesn’t say that they are a republican. They aren’t a Democrat are they!? Surely if they a Democrat the is story would be everywhere! Can’t be, but better to check and be sure.” haha
It’s just under the picture in the caption, but yeah… we knew
I missed that. I looked but didn’t see it. Thanks.
It’s because he’s from North Dakota, right? RIGHT???
(No, it’s because he fucks kids.)
Just another case of admission by omission.
A republican? I’m shocked! 😐
The Family Values Party ladies and gents, as in if you have a family, you can assign a value to each of them for SA.

Raymon Everett Holmberg (born December 10, 1944) is a former educator, school counselor, Republican North Dakota state senator, convicted felon, and sex offender.
Once tied for the longest-serving state legislator in the United States, Holmberg resigned from the senate in 2022 (after 45.5 years) upon investigation into his alleged child sex tourism and receipt of child pornography. In 2024, he pled guilty to charges of the former.
Republicans: “They just want to dress up as the opposite gender and use the bathrooms to sexually abuse and exploit people!”
Also Republicans:
As always, not a drag queen.
“Holmberg also manipulated a Canadian teenager, who later took his own life, into sending him sexually explicit images, and used an alias to email certain colleagues and friends about ‘his sexual interest in adolescent-age boys, among other things,’ acting U.S. Attorney Jennifer Klemetsrud Puhl wrote.”
30 years is not enough.
Maybe there should be a set of questions for politicians visiting Canada…are you now or in the next 5 years planning on visiting Canada for the purpose of…
GOP: His only real crime was spending money in Europe.
👊🇺🇸🔥
Those drag queens at it again. /s
Something tells me that if one were to look back through his public statements to the media there would be at least one rant about Democrats harboring pedophiles, or something.
Typical conservative pervert.
Once again, a reminder, not a Democrat, not a transgender, not a drag queen not an immigrant.
As always, not mentioned in the title but Republican
So wait, is it 3 years or 30 years?
Sentenced to a cabinet position?
You see, there’s the problem. Traveling to Europe to do these kinds of things is millionaire behavior. Shyiiit, dirty commoners could do that. Ya really gotta climb up there into the billionaire behavior department before you can start doing stuff like this and expecting to get away with it. Be a proper world-class scum bag, at least rent your own private island first. Sheesh. This is like psychopathic villainy 101 here. Unbelievable.
