A former North Dakota State Senator pleaded guilty today to traveling to Prague, Czech Republic, to have commercial sex with minor boys.
According to court documents and facts established in public proceedings, Ray Holmberg, 80, of Grand Forks, took approximately 14 trips to Prague between 2011 and 2021 to engage in commercial sex acts with minor boys. During some of these trips, Holmberg used the alias “Sean Evans” while staying at a brothel where young boys provided commercial sexual services. Holmberg also went to a public park in front of the main train station in Prague to procure sex from minor boys.
Holmberg also used the “Sean Evans” alias to communicate with friends about the trips. In those communications, Holmberg discussed “his twink,” and commented that “no one is ever too young . . . remember Prague.” He emailed another friend a link to a known brothel in Prague named the “Villa Mansland,” and wrote “[l]et’s go, this summer . . . The boys rent at around $60 (sex is extra).” Later in the communications, Holmberg wrote “it will be decadent but oh so much fun bro. What happens in Prague—Stays in Prague.” In other emails, he requested at least one of the employees at the brothel to find him a “kid.”
Holmberg pleaded guilty to one count of traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct. He faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division; First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Puhl for the District of North Dakota; and Special Agent in Charge Jamie Holt of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) St. Paul made the announcement.
HSI and the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigations are investigating the case.
Trial Attorney Charles Schmitz of the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section and First Assistant U.S. Attorney Puhl for the District of North Dakota are prosecuting the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006 by the Justice Department. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

R but a quite review of his social media and google, he quotes the great Walter Mondale, pretened he liked Reagan 40 years ago, shows no support for Trump, whined about anti-LGBTQ retoric in the GOP, says hate has no home here, in 2020 he tested positive for COVID-19 and was quarantining, rated 42% on conservative rating sites, etc. He was one of “those” types of Republicans and he was also an elemetary school teacher.
These clowns out themselves—if we pay attention...
Walz has all the signs...
Well then
.I’ll say this. I am suspect of anything walz has done and anything he promises to do.
Even if it appears legitimate because he is yet another known dim liar and a radical to boot.
Sounds like a closet Donkey - they’re pretty common in the South (I suspect that’s one reason Trump has had to deal with so much hassle in Georgia). In most of the Deep South the Demoncrap party is so discredited that the only way folks with some inclination in that direction can get elected is to pretend to have a Republican world view.
Who else in government has been there?
Sick bastard. I never knew this about Czechia. One of my favorite countries to visit.
As an aside the CZ show room is just outside that train station.
Sounds like a pretty expensive recreational activity for a public servant.
Some people are so twisted and evil, they should be put down like rabid dogs.
“We just want to get married and be left alone!” they said!
“Eight paragraphs and no party affiliation - that’s usually a pretty clear tell.”
He’s a Republican.

Prague? Just drive down to the wide open southern border, courtesy of the she-who-wants-to-be-the-next-POTUS “border czar”.
Here's the law itself:
"U.S. citizens are subject to the laws of the foreign countries they visit. You can be prosecuted in the United States for some acts committed overseas. You can be prosecuted even if the acts are legal where they happened.
The PROTECT Act was passed in 2003. It makes it a crime for a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to have sex with someone under the age of 18 in a foreign country. This crime can be prosecuted in the United States."
“The “Heartland” — home of a lot of weirdos such as Timothy James Walz.”
I think that was a Reckless Driving conviction. Not traveling abroad to have sex with underage boys.
Why isn’t the bastard in jail?
WTF is COMMERCIAL SEX WITH CHILDREN???
Then I saw it was with boys.
Why would any idiot call that Commercial Sex?
I bet he's a “Minneapolis Toe-tapper" just like Larry Craig.
“Mr, Walz, did you ever pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?”
“Mr. Walz, did you ever tap your toes in Minneapolis?”
