CSAM. That’s unexpected.
I guess he may have thought living in squalor in North Korea may be preferable to federal prison with that label…
Desertion AND CSAM, that is a very problematic thing to be charged of in prisons indeed. I can't imagine he will have a good time.
Yep. I don’t remember seeing that bit when he originally fled. Something about assaulting some South Koreans and facing punishment.
This makes trying to flee make a little more sense
They put people who get convicted of CSAM and like crimes into the same cell block, out of genpop.
