According to an Associated Press report, the Army has charged seven paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg with "engaging in sex acts in video shown on a website."
Citing a statement released by military authorities, the AP reported that three of the soldiers face courts-martial on charges of sodomy, pandering, and engaging in sex acts for money. Four other soldiers received nonjudicial punishments. The Army has recommended that all be discharged.
According to the report, the three soldiers charged criminally had been appointed military attorneys. The nonjudicial punishment received by the four other soldiers includes "reduction to the rank of private, 45 days of restriction to the unit area, 45 days of extra duty, and forfeiture of a month's pay."
The report did not name the website, but it is unlikely that it is not ActiveDuty.com, the Dink Flamingo site that specializes in paratroopers and has an address in the vicinity of Fort Bragg.
