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 Nine other offenses, including possession of sexual images of a child, will be withdrawn and dismissed under the terms of the deal.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.
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.
That’s fucking crazy.
