(Minot, ND) — A Minot man will have his state-level charges dismissed after being indicted on federal charges. Dalton Jake Hattem initially faced two felony counts, including possession of certain materials prohibited after allegedly sharing child sex abuse materials with his wife. A judge dismissed both felonies after the Assistant Ward County State’s Attorney filed a motion indicating he was federally indicted on sealed separate charges. Amber Hattem also faces charges of child sex abuse material, as the couple was charged last month for committing gross sexual imposition against elderly Minot care facility residents.
