"US Army Charges Soldier Travis King with Desertion for Entering North Korea"

Pvt. Travis T. King, the American soldier who crossed into North Korea in July and returned to the United States last month, has been charged with desertion, assaulting other soldiers, and child pornography. The charges were filed by officials at Fort Bliss, and King is currently being held at a civilian jail near Fort Bliss. His mother expressed concern about his mental health and stated that she believes something happened to him while he was deployed. King's time in North Korea remains largely unknown, but he was expelled by North Korean officials in late September for "illegally intruding" into their territory.
