Law enforcement agencies and lawmakers in North Dakota are looking for ways to decrease corrections spending and prevent repeat offenses. The key may be taking steps to address the state's prison population, which includes an increasing number of low-level offenders.
Some crimes like indecent exposure can be difficult to understand because one's actions and intent matter. In North Dakota and other states, indecent exposure usually involves displaying one's genitals in public in an attempt to receive sexual gratification. Indecent exposure is a serious offense that can sometimes lead to time in prison.
North Dakota has laws in place that specifically prohibit certain people from possessing firearms due to age, mental health issues and previous felony convictions. The prohibitions vary in duration, depending on the reason constituting the prohibition.
Court documents related to a case in which two individuals were accused of operating a commercial sex business in North Dakota were released on Sept. 24. The documents accused the 32-year-old woman and the 32-year-old man of convincing California women to come to North Dakota in order to work in brothels between late 2012 and early 2014.
A Bismarck man pleaded guilty on June 17 to charges stemming from an alleged effort to lure a teenage girl into a sexual encounter. Authorities have accused the 25-year-old man of engaging in an online chat with a person he believed to be a 14-year-old girl; the man allegedly made plans to meet with the person in the interest of smoking marijuana and performing sex acts.
Child sexual abuse is a serious crime that carries serious penalties. In North Dakota, a conviction of sexual exploitation of minors carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in federal prison. In reality, it can seem as if all those found guilty of sexually abusing a minor are given a life sentence.
A federal investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Cyber Crime Center has resulted in the arrests of 14 men in connection with a child pornography website. The investigation of at least 300 others remains ongoing. The website allegedly involved 251 children between the ages of 3 and 17, 12 of whom were from North Dakota.
