 The former Bemidji Middle School assistant principal facing federal child pornography charges will plead guilty to those charges as well as to state charges for engaging in electronic communication relating to or describing sexual conduct with a child. According to a parent of one of the alleged victims, 35-year-old Brandon Bjorkness has agreed to plead guilty in federal court on September 28 and in state court on October 4 to the crimes now involving 55 victims. It will be up to the judges to decide on Bjorkness' sentence, but the sentences will run concurrently. The minimum sentence Bjorkness could face for the federal charges is 15 years in prison and the maximum sentence would be life in prison. Prosecutors are asking for the public to show support for the victims and their families by attending the upcoming hearings.
