Youth Counselor Guilty of Corrupting Boy

(Fargo, North Dakota) Last January, a 28-year-old teen counselor, Kimberly Nack, was accused of engaging in sexual misconduct with a 16-year-old boy she met at the Luther Hall Treatment Center in Fargo. Nack was also employed as a truant officer for the Morehead School District in Minnesota. Nack was charged with felony sexual assault and harboring a runaway minor.

In accordance with a plea agreement, Nack pleaded guilty yesterday to a misdemeanor charge of corruption or solicitation of a minor. In return, the prosecution dropped the charge of felony sexual assault.

East Central District Court Judge Wade Webb ordered a presentence evaluation before Nack is sentenced. The sentencing date hasn't been established. Nack may be required to register as a sex offender.

The charge of harboring a runaway still has to be adjudicated. Nack pleaded not guilty to that charge.

In the meantime, Nack is free on $10,000 bond.
