(BY: North Dakota Monitor) – A North Dakota University System internal review found no current employees violated reporting policies related to Ray Holmberg, the former state senator from Grand Forks, who traveled to Europe to pay for sex with boys, but an investigation will continue.

The University System  said last month that it would conduct the internal review after people connected to North Dakota higher education were named in investigation documents released by the state attorney general.

After going into a closed-door executive session to discuss the review by the system’s chief compliance officer, board chair Tim Mihalick read a statement saying that no policy violations, including failure to report criminal activity, were found among current employees.

Mihalick said the compliance officer reviewed thousands of pages of internal documents and law enforcement materials.
