An Army force private who fled to North Korea almost over a year back will plead guilty to desertion and four other charges and take responsibility for his conduct, his attorney said on Monday.

Travis King’s lawyer, Franklin D. Rosenblatt, told The Associated Press that King is planning to take the blame for up to five military offenses, including desertion and ambushing an officer. Nine other offenses, counting possession of sexual pictures of a child, will be canceled and rejected under the terms of the deal, Rosenblatt said in a statement.

“King has agreed to plead guilty, be that as it may, but other details are not releasable at this time as the guilty plea is subject to the acknowledgment by the military judge,” she said.

King will be given an opportunity at the September 20 hearing at Fort Bliss, Texas, to examine his actions and clarify what he did.

“He needs to take responsibility for the things that he did,” Rosenblatt said.

In a separate statement, he included, “Travis is thankful to his friends and family who have backed and helped him, and to all the people who are outside his circle who did not pre-judge his case based on the previous allegations.”

The U.S. military filed a series of charges against King under the Uniform Code of Military Justice in October, including desertion, as well as assaulting other officers, unlawfully possessing alcohol, making a false statement and possessing a video of a child engaged in sexual activity. Those allegations are dated back to July 10, the same day he was released from the prison.
