Minot Man Charged With More Than 50 Felonies Pleads Not Guilty
(Minot, ND) — A Minot man facing more than 50 felony charges in connection with sexual offenses in three different cases has pleaded not guilty. Julian Monson was in court Thursday for the third case, in which investigators say he tried to solicit sex from an underage girl, and also sent her explicit videos and photos. In that case, he’s charged with attempted use of a minor in a sexual performance, luring minors by computer, and nine counts of promoting obscenity to minors. Monson will be back in court on September 11th for 41 additional felony charges related to the other two cases.
