Choy, 28, of the 1st Battalion, 63rd Armor Regiment, stationed in Germany, also was ordered reduced to the lowest enlisted rank and handed a bad-conduct discharge by the military judge, Lt. Col. Robin Hall, at a court-martial Dec. 16 in Vilseck, according to a trial summary released by the 1st Infantry Division’s Staff Judge Advocate’s office.
German customs officials intercepted the shipment and ordered a search of Choy’s off-base apartment.
Choy acknowledged using his personal computer in late 2003 to surf pornographic Web sites on the Internet. During one session, it said, he downloaded about 10 images of pre-pubescent girls in sexually explicit poses. In a search of his apartment, police found a diskette with some of the photos under his mattress, while others were on his computer’s hard drive.
Choy’s sentence will be reviewed by the court-martial convening authority, the Grafenwöhr-based 7th Army Training Command
