A US army private who fled to North Korea just over a year ago will plead guilty to desertion and four other charges and take responsibility for his conduct, his lawyer said on Monday.
Travis King’s attorney, Franklin D Rosenblatt, told the Associated Press that King intends to admit guilt to a total of five military offenses, including desertion and assaulting an officer. Nine other offenses, including possession of sexual images of a child, will be withdrawn and dismissed under the terms of the deal.
King will be given an opportunity at a 20 September hearing at Fort Bliss, Texas, to discuss his actions and explain what he did.

You just gonna casually leave the CSAM out of the headline? Smh.
And they’re dropping that charge?? Was he in possession of it or not…if yes how can you simply drop a charge of that caliber
The guy got kicked out of North Korea. Like when NK gets a prisoner they use it as leverage to get something in return. This time they just expelled him from the country. He must be a real piece and possibly they came across the same CSAM materials. NK doesn’t just pass up an opportunity.

He holds no propoganda value to NK.
