James Duane Van Raden Jr., 47, appeared Wednesday, March 31, in North Dakota’s U.S. District Court in Fargo on one count of coercion and enticement.
A criminal complaint filed Monday, March 29, and unsealed Wednesday detailed how a West Fargo Police detective posted a Craigslist ad on Dec. 4, 2019, titled “daughter needs tutoring,” which was part of a proactive internet operation. Van Raden allegedly responded to the ad as “Iam Anonymous.”

BISMARCK An ex-BNSF Railway worker claims he was fired because he blew the whistle on emergency brake failures for coal trains in North Dakota and testified a coworker was injured on the job due to hazardous conditions.
Michael Fink of Bismarck is asking in a federal lawsuit for back pay, lost wages and benefits, damages for emotional distress, and other relief after the railway company let him go last year. He also wants his job back and up to $250,000 in punitive damages, according to the civil complaint filed Dec. 4 in North Dakota’s U.S. District Court against BNSF.
Jim Roers, a North Dakota state senator representing south Fargo, is not the only one capitalizing on the family name in construction. His nephews, Kent and Brian Roers, founded Roers Companies in 2012 as a real estate business. The name Roers Group dates back to 2004 as a registered name in Minnesota, according to the complaint.
Their portfolio includes a long list of apartments in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and North Dakota.
The complaint said the nephews asked for help from their uncle. They said, according to the complaint, they planned to stay out of North Dakota, with the exception of the Bakken oil patch.
