一 | WASHINGTON -- 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.The eight counts against Pvt. Travis King are detailed in a charging document seen by The Associated Press. The officials who confirmed King's confinement spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the charges have not been publicly announced.King's mother, Claudine Gates, said in a statement that she loved her son “unconditionally” and was “extremely concerned about his mental health.”“As his mother, I ask that my son be afforded the presumption of innocence,” she said.Desertion is a very serious charge and can result in imprisonment for as much as three years. King is also accused of kicking and punching other officers last year, unlawfully possessing alcohol, making a false statement and possessing a video of a child engaged in sexual activity. That allegation dates to July 10, the same day he was released from a South Korean prison where he had served nearly two months on assault charges.One week later, King, 23, ran across the heavily fortified border from South Korea and became the first American detained in North Korea in nearly five years. He was set to be sent to Fort Bliss, Texas, where he could have faced potential additional disciplinary actions and discharge.Officials said King was taken to the airport and escorted as far as customs. But instead of getting on the plane, he left and later joined a civilian tour of the Korean border village of Panmunjom. He ran across the border, which is lined with guards and often crowded with tourists, in the afternoon. After about two months, Pyongyang abruptly announced that it would expel him. He was flown on Sept. 28 to an Air Force base in Texas.His release from North Korea was aided by Swedish officials who took King to the Chinese border, where he was met by U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns, the Swedish ambassador to China and at least one U.S. Defense Department official. He was then flown to a U.S. military base in South Korea before heading to the U.S.Once back in the U.S., King was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston outside San Antonio. He went through what the military describes as a “reintegration” process that included medical exams, psychological assessments and debriefings. And he was also allowed to meet with family.Because he had willingly run into enemy hands, he legally was kept in military custody throughout that process.At the time, officials said they did not know exactly why North Korea decided to let King go, but suspected Pyongyang determined that as a low-ranking serviceman he had no real value in terms of either leverage or information. King joined the Army in January 2021, and served as a cavalry scout.While he was gone, Army leaders declared him absent without leave, opting to not consider him a deserter, which is far more serious. By declaring King a deserter, the Army would have to conclude that King left and intended to stay away permanently. In times of war, desertion can carry the death penalty.Service members can go AWOL for several days, but may return voluntarily. The punishment can include confinement in the brig, forfeiture of pay or dishonorable discharge and it is largely based on how long they were away and whether they were apprehended or returned on their own.The charging document does not provide significant detail on any of the allegations, though it does accuse King of knowingly possessing a video of a child engaging in sexual conduct last July 10 and says that he solicited a user of Snapchat, a social media platform, to produce images of underage sexual activity.Sean Timmons, an attorney who specializes in military law at the Tully Rinckey law firm and who reviewed the charging document, said all the transactions that occurred on Snapchat were not secure or private and were accessible by the government. “He probably reasonably believed his illegal conduct would have no evidentiary trail, but Snapchat actually saves everything,” Timmons said.___Associated Press writer Tara Copp in Washington contributed to this report.。 8月26日讯 据《镜报》首席体育记者Jeremy Cross独家报道，尽管已经过了切尔西设定的报价截止日，但曼城仍准备对恩佐提出一份1亿镑的初步报价。
二 | 报道称，曼城将对切尔西中场恩佐提交1亿英镑的首次报价。尽管两家俱乐部的谈判目前陷入僵局，但曼城高层依然渴望签下恩佐。
三 | 此前，切尔西曾向曼城下达最后通牒，要求其在8月13日下午5点前满足其1.2亿英镑要价以完成交易。但曼城方面深知，恩佐迫切希望在夏窗关闭前转投蓝月军团。
四 | 曼城主席穆巴拉克准备用1亿英镑的报价向切尔西发起攻势，力求拿下恩佐。如今，球员在斯坦福桥已不再受欢迎，甚至遭到了自家球迷的嘘声。曼城新帅马雷斯卡在切尔西执教期间曾与恩佐结下了深厚的情谊，在接手瓜迪奥拉的帅印时，马雷斯卡就向曼城高层明确表示，希望能将爱将再次招致麾下。今夏，曼城经历了中场人员的流失，B席和罗德里相继告别球队，另一名中场尼科·冈萨雷斯也即将5000万英镑加盟纽卡。而在马雷斯卡的战术构想中，他希望恩佐能与埃利奥特·安德森搭档中场。
五 | 目前，曼城一直与恩佐的经纪人帕斯托雷保持着密切联系，但能否最终与切尔西达成协议仍是未知数。本周早些时候，阿隆索明确表示希望尽快确定恩佐的未来。
