Europe briefs: Soldier convicted in child porn case

A U.S. soldier in Kosovo was convicted of possession of child pornography during a general court-martial on Dec. 14, Army officials reported last week.

Spc. Anthony C. Haddock of Troop T, 4th Squadron, 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment, serving at Camp Bondsteel, originally was charged with distribution of child pornography, as well, but the charges were reduced as part of his plea agreement, an Army spokesman said.

Haddock was sentenced to a reduction of rank to E-1, 16 months of confinement and a bad conduct discharge.
