An Army private who fled to North Korea before being returned home to the United States last month has been detained by the U.S. military, two officials said Thursday night, and is facing charges including desertion and possessing sexual images of a child.

    Desertion AND CSAM, that is a very problematic thing to be charged of in prisons indeed. I can’t imagine he will have a good time.

      Yep. I don’t remember seeing that bit when he originally fled. Something about assaulting some South Koreans and facing punishment.

      This makes trying to flee make a little more sense
