A former longtime North Dakota lawmaker is charged with traveling to Prague with the intent to rape a minor, according to a federal indictment unsealed Monday. Ex-Republican state Sen. Ray Holmberg, 79, was arrested Monday in Grand Forks, according to an arrest warrant. He is also charged with one count of receiving images depicting child sexual abuse, according to the indictment filed Thursday in federal court in North Dakota.
A text message sent to Holmberg was not immediately returned and voicemail on his phone was not set up, so a message could not be left. Holmberg's initial court appearance was scheduled for Monday afternoon.

Holmberg, a retired school counselor, chaired the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, which writes budgets.
