North Dakota mayor resigns after apparently sending 'sexy video' to city attorney

Cortney Weil  |  April 03, 2025

he mayor of the fourth-largest city in North Dakota has resigned after he reportedly sent an explicit video to the city attorney by accident.

Just after 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Tom Ross tendered his resignation as mayor of Minot, a city of some 47,000 residents about 50 miles south of the Canadian border, perhaps best known for its Air Force base. His resignation followed an investigation into a video he apparently sent to city attorney Stefanie Stalheim several months ago.

On the morning of January 14, Ross reportedly called Stalheim to inform her that an officer with the Minot Police Department had died from suicide. Just 11 minutes after that phone call, Ross apparently texted Stalheim a message with a video attached.

Almost immediately after sending the video, Ross called Stalheim again, this time admitting that he had accidentally sent her a "sexy video" meant for his girlfriend, according to a report from the city. Ross then asked Stalheim not to view the video and instead to delete it and to keep the mishap between the two of them.

At the time, Stalheim had Monica Porterfield, a city HR employee, with her. Stalheim asked Porterfield to delete the message, but in her attempts to delete it, Porterfield accidentally played the footage. It reportedly contained video of Ross pleasuring himself.  .  .  .

Wow.

I don't even understand why people have such material, much less on their phones.  :shrug:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This is why old people should never ever be on social media or use smart phones.  Back in their day no one recorded the stupid shit they did.

Yeah, it's a shame she was subjected to that, but his butt is down the road.
