    Army will court-martial Lynndie England

    Pfc. Lynndie England, the soldier seen in some of the most notorious photos with naked Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison, will be court-martialed in January on charges of abusing detainees, the Army said Monday.

    The 21-year-old reservist will be tried on 13 counts of abuse and six counts of indecent acts, said Lt. Gen. John Vines, commander of the 18th Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg.

    England did not enter a plea when she was arraigned Friday. She faces a prison sentence of up to 38 years, a dishonorable discharge and forfeiture of all pay and allowances if convicted.

    The abuse charges include three counts of assault in which she is said to have stepped on the hands and feet of Iraqi detainees. Another abuse charge includes conspiring to commit maltreatment of a detainee by posing in a photograph holding a leash around the naked prisoner's neck.

    The indecent acts include wrongfully creating sexually explicit photographs of herself and disobeying an order given by a noncommissioned officer. Those charges do not involve Iraqi prisoners.

    England became a focal point of the scandal after the release of photos of her smiling and posing with nude prisoners stacked in a pyramid, pointing and flashing a thumb's up, and holding a detainee on a dog leash.

    The defense said England, a clerk not assigned to the cellblocks at Abu Ghraib, was asked by military intelligence agents to help "soften up" prisoners for interrogation.

    Vines, in deciding on a court-martial, reinstated two assault counts that hearing officer Col. Denise Arn had recommended be dropped. Arn recommended a court martial on 17 counts, but cited a concern about the "sufficiency of proof of the allegations" for the other two.

    Bragg spokesman Col. Billy Buckner said he could not comment on why Vines reinstated the counts.

    In a report, Arn said England, a reservist with the 372nd Military Police Company of Cresaptown, Md., was largely led astray by older soldiers in her unit, particularly her ex-boyfriend, Spc. Charles Graner Jr. Attorneys say Graner is the father of the child England expects to deliver in October.

    During a hearing last month, military prosecutor Capt. Crystal Jennings read England's own statements that she stepped on prisoners' toes and posed for and took photos of detainees piled in pyramids and being forced to simulate homosexual acts.

    Jennings said England was simply "having fun" and that there was no indication she was at the prison for any military purpose.
