Attorney General Wrigley Issues Statement on Ray Holmberg’s Plea

Attorney General Drew Wrigley released the following statement after former Senator Ray Holmberg pleaded guilty in federal court.

“This is a significant milestone in North Dakota’s fight against child sex trafficking. Former Senator Ray Holmberg has admitted his heinous crimes and has now been convicted of conduct that fuels the domestic and global sexual exploitation of children. This is an important step toward justice, and my office will continue to deploy the full investigative resources of our BCI, just as I have prioritized this and the related joint state-federal investigations since the first hours after I was sworn in as Attorney General.

Our state investigative resources will continue to work with our federal law enforcement partners on this matter, and we will continue to align with the prosecutorial efforts of my former colleagues in our esteemed U.S. Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Department of Justice.”
