Ray Holmberg, an 81-year-old former state senator, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for traveling to Europe with the intent to pay for sex with minors. Holmberg, who served 45 years in the North Dakota Senate, pleaded guilty last year to engaging in illicit sexual activity. During the sentencing hearing, which included victim statements and testimony, Judge Daniel Hovland emphasized Holmberg's continued threat to underage boys and described his actions as "egregious and despicable." Despite the defense's request for a shorter sentence due to Holmberg's age and health, the judge deemed a lesser sentence insufficient as a deterrent against similar crimes. US School Sex Abuse Case: 3 Teachers Charged With Child Grooming and Sexually Abuse of Students in Texas.
