A court-martial has adjudged a "five-year jail term for a soldier who was found guilty of sexual assault against the 11-year-old daughter of a colleague." Curiously, imprisonment is to be under "rigorous" conditions.

A short piece on the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, Fort Leavenworth, KS. Also, a bit dated, but some data.
