Army major jailed on federal child porn charge

-

SAVANNAH, Ga. — An Army officer who held a top-secret security clearance shared nude photos of a teenage girl online and discussed plans to drug the girl and have sex with her, according to federal court records unsealed Monday.

Army Maj. Jason Musgrove was arrested and charged with distributi­ng child pornograph­y after an FBI agent working undercover to monitor online groups devoted to child pornograph­y and discussion­s of child sex, exchanged messages with the officer who detailed his plans. The agent traced the photos to a computer in

Musgrove’s home in Georgia, said documents filed in U.S. District Court.

Court records said Musgrove is assigned to the Army Cyber Command at Fort Gordon in Augusta, where he works as an integrated threats operations officer with a topsecret security clearance.

In China: People who were at vocational training centers in China’s far west Xinjiang have all “graduated“and are living happy lives, an official said Monday. But Uighurs and other predominan­tly Muslim ethnic minorities from the region say their family members continue to be arbitraril­y detained in camps and prisons.

Shohrat Zakir, Xinjiang’s Uighur governor, made the remarks during a press briefing as part of a strident propaganda campaign launched following the U.S. Congress’ approval last week of the Uighur Human Rights Policy Act that condemns the mass detentions.

Former detainees have said the centers were essentiall­y prisons and they were subject to indoctrina­tion and torture.
