Army private who fled to North Korea charged with desertion, held by US military, officials tell AP_我的网站
A | 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.。
B | 今天（8月19日）上午，在东风商业航天创新试验区，首颗“雄安造”卫星——鸿擎科技的“鸿鹄03星”搭乘朱雀三号重复使用遥二运载火箭直冲云霄，并顺利入轨。
C | 这是第一颗完完整整在雄安研发制造、奔赴太空的卫星，很多人叫它“雄安一号”。
D | 这颗卫星成长的每一步，我们都亲眼见证。大家可能很难想象它的成长速度。研制生产它的这家企业——蓝箭鸿擎（雄安）空间科技有限公司，去年1月才落地雄安。从一张白纸到卫星下线，只用了10个月，这就是实打实的“雄安速度”。鸿擎科技智能制造中心副总经理、雄安中试中心经理孙德智告诉我们，雄安新区建设了我国第一条流水线式卫星自动化产线，能年产100颗卫星，30多个小时就能完成一颗卫星的下线。几年前，空天信息产业对雄安来说还是个全新赛道。自从2024年中国星网总部迁驻雄安后，像一块磁铁，吸引了69家上下游企业、9个创新平台扎堆入驻。如今，“搞空天，到雄安”正在成为行业共识。在这里，有人专注搭建卫星间的太空高速网络，有的团队搭建天地互通的信号网络，还有团队专门研发卫星的“太空摆渡车”……从卫星设计、零部件生产，到在轨运维、时空应用，雄安正在构建一条完整的空天信息产业链。这次发射的一大亮点，就是这套雄安专属的可批产模式，再加上朱雀三号重复使用火箭，又从发射端把太空运输的成本门槛打了下来。“从火箭重复使用到卫星批量制造，中国商业航天正在补齐规模化发展的两块关键拼图，为星座快速部署、持续补网和长期运营打开更大空间。”孙德智说。中国的航天产业，发展得越来越快速、越来越自主。现在，全国已经有超过600家商业航天企业。仅去年一年，中国就完成了50次商业发射，占全年发射总数的54%。而雄安一号，只是这条飞天路上最新点亮的一颗星。当大屏定格在“发射成功”这四个字时，我真的忍不住眼眶一热。古人把星空编成诗，而我们把诗射向星空。一代人擘画新城，一代人深耕科创，一代人奔赴星河，致敬每一位航天追光者！我们奔赴苍穹的征途，永不止步！总监制：王丽平策 划：张 霰 胡印斌 耿 佳拍 摄：刘梦妍 康紫祎 马 宁 宋霈雯制 作：郭晶璇。
