B | WASHINGTON -- An Army private who fled to North Korea before being returned home to the United States last month has been detained by the U.S. military, two officials said Thursday night, and is facing charges including desertion and possessing sexual images of a child.The eight counts against Pvt. Travis King are detailed in a charging document seen by The Associated Press. The officials who confirmed King's confinement spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the charges have not been publicly announced.King's mother, Claudine Gates, said in a statement that she loved her son “unconditionally” and was “extremely concerned about his mental health.”“As his mother, I ask that my son be afforded the presumption of innocence,” she said.Desertion is a very serious charge and can result in imprisonment for as much as three years. King is also accused of kicking and punching other officers last year, unlawfully possessing alcohol, making a false statement and possessing a video of a child engaged in sexual activity. That allegation dates to July 10, the same day he was released from a South Korean prison where he had served nearly two months on assault charges.One week later, King, 23, ran across the heavily fortified border from South Korea and became the first American detained in North Korea in nearly five years. He was set to be sent to Fort Bliss, Texas, where he could have faced potential additional disciplinary actions and discharge.Officials said King was taken to the airport and escorted as far as customs. But instead of getting on the plane, he left and later joined a civilian tour of the Korean border village of Panmunjom. He ran across the border, which is lined with guards and often crowded with tourists, in the afternoon. After about two months, Pyongyang abruptly announced that it would expel him. He was flown on Sept. 28 to an Air Force base in Texas.His release from North Korea was aided by Swedish officials who took King to the Chinese border, where he was met by U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns, the Swedish ambassador to China and at least one U.S. Defense Department official. He was then flown to a U.S. military base in South Korea before heading to the U.S.Once back in the U.S., King was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston outside San Antonio. He went through what the military describes as a “reintegration” process that included medical exams, psychological assessments and debriefings. And he was also allowed to meet with family.Because he had willingly run into enemy hands, he legally was kept in military custody throughout that process.At the time, officials said they did not know exactly why North Korea decided to let King go, but suspected Pyongyang determined that as a low-ranking serviceman he had no real value in terms of either leverage or information. King joined the Army in January 2021, and served as a cavalry scout.While he was gone, Army leaders declared him absent without leave, opting to not consider him a deserter, which is far more serious. By declaring King a deserter, the Army would have to conclude that King left and intended to stay away permanently. In times of war, desertion can carry the death penalty.Service members can go AWOL for several days, but may return voluntarily. The punishment can include confinement in the brig, forfeiture of pay or dishonorable discharge and it is largely based on how long they were away and whether they were apprehended or returned on their own.The charging document does not provide significant detail on any of the allegations, though it does accuse King of knowingly possessing a video of a child engaging in sexual conduct last July 10 and says that he solicited a user of Snapchat, a social media platform, to produce images of underage sexual activity.Sean Timmons, an attorney who specializes in military law at the Tully Rinckey law firm and who reviewed the charging document, said all the transactions that occurred on Snapchat were not secure or private and were accessible by the government. “He probably reasonably believed his illegal conduct would have no evidentiary trail, but Snapchat actually saves everything,” Timmons said.___Associated Press writer Tara Copp in Washington contributed to this report.。”在过去的一年里，追踪和分享公开私人飞机数据的推特帐户大量出现，包括公布特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）和歌手泰勒·斯威夫特（Taylor Swift）等人的旅行轨迹。

C | 追踪阿尔诺私人飞机的两个热门帐号都是在过去6个月内创建的，粉丝加起来有接近10万人。阿尔诺似乎是在几周前开始转而租用喷气式飞机。9月份，关注阿尔诺行踪的推特帐号@laviondebernard发文称，他们缺少最近几周有关这位亿万富翁的飞行数据。

D | 而且几周前，LVMH已经在法国注销了其飞机的注册。@laviondebernard在9月10日的推文中写道：“自2022年9月1日以来，始终没有关于阿尔诺和LVMH私人飞机的消息。

E | 阿尔诺，你是躲起来了吗？”根据彭博亿万富翁指数的估计，阿尔诺是世界上第二富有的人，净资产估计为1330亿美元，甚至超过了亚马逊创始人杰夫·贝索斯（Jeff Bezos）。

F | 阿尔诺是LVMH首席执行官、联合创始人和董事长，一手建立起庞大的奢侈品帝国，旗下包括蒂芙尼(Tiffany&Co.)、豪雅(Tag Heur)和唐培里侬(Dom Pérignon)等知名品牌。美国当地时间周一，阿尔诺的儿子安托万·阿尔诺（Antoine Arnault）为LVMH使用私人飞机的做法辩护，此前其父亲因搭乘私人飞机增加碳排放而受到法国媒体的批评。

G | 小阿尔诺说，私人飞机让高管们在推出新产品或进行交易的竞争中占据了优势。小阿尔诺补充称：“我们所在的行业竞争激烈。我们还没有找到比私人飞机更好的东西来赢得每天的比赛，这会让我们比竞争对手领先一小步。”阿尔诺并不是最近几个月因使用私人飞机而受到追踪的唯一一位亿万富翁。今年7月，斯威夫特的私人飞机被列为增加碳排放的名单之首，批评人士对她进行了猛烈抨击。

H | 当时，她的发言人表示，“这架飞机经常借给其他人使用”。

I | 其他公众人物也表达了对在社交媒体上分享私人飞机飞行数据的安全担忧。今年早些时候，马斯克提出向跟踪他旅行踪迹的推特帐户创建者支付5000美元，要求其关闭该帐户，但被拒绝。马斯克曾说过：“我不喜欢被疯子开枪打死的想法。”与此同时，Facebook创始人马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）在一个推特帐户开始追踪他后更换了私人飞机，亿万富翁投资人马克·库班（Mark Cuban）与一名追踪者达成协议，以向后者提供商业建议换取其删除该帐户。（小小）。
