Army soldier at Fort Hood accused of running prostitution ring
Al Jazeera America reports:
A U.S. Army soldier appeared before a military panel on Tuesday to address allegations that he operated a prostitution ring with at least three cash-strapped female soldiers at Fort Hood, one of the largest Army bases in the country.
The case is another in a spate of embarrassing sex-related incidents in the military that prompted Congress to look at ways to make top brass more accountable for the conduct of soldiers.
Sgt. 1st Class Gregory McQueen faces 21 charges related to pandering, conspiracy, maltreatment of a subordinate, abusive sexual contact, adultery and conduct of a nature to bring discredit to the armed forces, military officials said.
