A 19-year-old Fargo North student accused of sexually abusing a girl repeatedly for nearly three years pleaded guilty this afternoon to a felony charge that carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.
Nathan Bryan Munter pleaded guilty to the Class AA felony gross sexual imposition charge, which will likely require him to register as a sex offender for life.
According to Cass County District Court documents:
The charge stems from incidents taking place between November 2003 and July 2006 involving a girl when she was between the ages of 10 and 12.
The victim, who is not a student at Fargo North, told police Munter forced her into a closet in winter 2005 and raped her, stopping when she started to cry and starting again when she stopped.

This afternoon, Munter admitted the incident took place.
East Central District Judge Wade Webb ordered a pre-sentence investigation and a risk assessment to be completed before Munter is sen-tenced.
Munter remains out of jail after posting $1,000 cash bail in March. He has been receiving homebound schooling since his March arraignment.
