MINOT, N.D. (AP) - A judge has rejected a request by a former North Dakota school superintendent convicted of sex crimes with minors to have his electronics returned to his family.
Former Sawyer Superintendent Charles Soper argued the state should return a computer, an iPad and a cellphone to his family, so they can sell or use the devices.
Ward County Deputy State’s Attorney Kelly Dillon argued against the request, saying the computer and iPad both contain child pornography.
The Minot Daily News (https://bit.ly/2lWj2bn ) reports North Central District Judge Doug Mattson ruled the electronics should be destroyed or given to law enforcement for training purposes.
Soper was accused of sexually abusing three teenage boys and possessing child pornography. He resigned from the school after his arrest in 2015.
