MINOT, N.D. (AP) - A former North Dakota school superintendent serving up to 40 years in prison for sex crimes involving minors wants electronics returned that were seized during the investigation.
Former Sawyer superintendent Charles Soper argued in court Tuesday that 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 the computer and iPad both contain child pornography and should be destroyed. The Minot Police Department wants to keep Soper’s cellphone to use as a training tool.
The Minot Daily News (https://bit.ly/2kivnFl ) reports the judge took the request under advisement.
Soper was accused of sexually abusing three teenage boys and possessing child pornography. He resigned from the school after his arrest in 2015.
