ND: Mayor resigns after texting lewd video to city attorney

Source: USA Today

“A North Dakota mayor resigned on Tuesday after an investigation into a lewd video he messaged to the city’s top attorney in January. Minot Mayor Tom Ross texted City Attorney Stefanie Stalheim a video of him masturbating shortly after the two talked on the phone about a police officer’s suicide, according to a report issued by the Minot City Council. Ross called Stalheim within minutes of sending the video, asking her to delete it without watching it and telling her it was intended for a girlfriend. The mayor stepped down from office the same day Minot legislators made the report into the incident public.” (04/02/25)
