Bond stays for former N.D. judge in sex case

BISMARCK (AP) — A former North Dakota district judge and Elgin police chief still has to post $500,000 bond to get out of jail on 52 felony sex charges.

BISMARCK (AP) — A former North Dakota district judge and Elgin police chief still has to post $500,000 bond to get out of jail on 52 felony sex charges.

Randall Hoffman’s attorney asked Monday that Hoffman be required to post only 10 percent of the bond while he awaits trial. South Central District Judge Bruce Romanick denied the request.

Hoffman is accused of molesting and attempting to rape a 17-year-old girl during the last five years.

Romanick scheduled Hoffman’s preliminary hearing on Nov. 8.

The 55-year-old Hoffman is a former district judge in Jamestown. He was police chief in Elgin for five years.
