Joshua Ray Messer Back in Jail | Fargo News

Joshua Ray Messer is back behind bars after a Fargo judge revoked his probation on a child sexual abuse material conviction, sentencing him to three more years — with credit for time already served. This isn’t his first run-in: he was convicted in 2021 on four felony counts, serving part of a five-year sentence while on probation for the fourth. Now, the judge says he willfully violated probation terms — though specifics remain undisclosed. It follows a 2019 conviction where he was found with hundreds of abusive images, receiving a five-year sentence and three years of probation. Under North Dakota law, he must also register as a sex offender — and this latest move means he’ll serve additional time for breaking release conditions.
