BISMARCK, N.D. (AP Aug 21, 2013) – The state Board of Medical Examiners has reinstated the license of a Fargo surgeon who was acquitted last year on charges he drugged and raped his wife.
 
     Board Executive Secretary Duane Houdek says Dr. Jon Norberg can only practice on a conditional basis at a board-approved facility and under the scrutiny of a mentor.
 
     A jury found the 43-year-old Norberg not guilty in November of gross sexual imposition and reckless endangerment. He could have faced up to life in prison if convicted.
 
     Houdek says Norberg petitioned to get his license back in March and the board’s order was signed last week and posted Wednesday.
 
     Houdek says Norberg has not notified the board of where he wants to practice.
