Judge Rejects Plea Deal for Former North Dakota Game and Fish Director Charged with Child Sex Crime
A Morton County judge has rejected a plea deal for Terry Steinwand, the former North Dakota Game and Fish director charged with a felony child sex crime. Steinwand, 72, faces gross sexual imposition after admitting to inappropriately touching a child in September. Prosecutors and Steinwands lawyer had pushed for him to plead guilty to a lesser misdemeanor sexual assault charge, which included two years of supervised probation and a no-contact order with the victim. However, Judge Marina Spahr turned down the deal, stating it lacked real sex offender treatment and enough safeguards for other kids. Both parties now have two weeks to rework the agreement, while Steinwand awaits the next step.
