A former state senator convicted of a child sex crime has again been found in violation of the conditions of his release as he awaits sentencing. Ray Holmberg, once a powerful state lawmaker, pleaded guilty in August to repeatedly traveling from North Dakota to Prague, Czech Republic, for the purposes of engaging in commercial sex with adolescents under age 18. Holmberg was released from custody on Oct. 30, 2023, with certain stipulations " including location monitoring, internet restrictions, no drugs or alcohol and no contact with victims or witnesses. The terms were updated this spring to bar Holmberg from using electronic devices without permission, according to court records.
