In July 2023, Pvt. Travis King made headlines after he fled a tour group and crossed the DMZ into North Korea, leading to a myriad of charges.
King is set to plead guilty to five of the 14 charges against him, including desertion and disobeying a senior officer, at a hearing on September 20.
King’s attorney noted that his plea negotiations have played a role in delaying the initial legal proceedings, which were initially scheduled to begin earlier.
Despite facing serious military charges, including desertion, King expresses gratitude for the support from friends and family amid his legal troubles.
