FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — A noncommissioned sexual abuse prevention officer accused of operating a prostitution ring at a central Texas army base is to go before a military tribunal.

A Fort Hood court-martial is to begin Wednesday in the case against Sgt. 1st Class Gregory McQueen.

Initial charges were filed in March 2014 against McQueen alleging 21 criminal charges including pandering, adultery and sexual assault.

During a June hearing, two soldiers said McQueen recruited them and other cash-strapped female soldiers to join a prostitution ring.

Another soldier at the base, Master Sgt. Brad Grimes, already was demoted and reprimanded in the case.
