San Antonio, Texas, April 30, SPA -- Pfc. Lynndie England will plead guilty to abusing Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib prison, her lawyer said late Friday, months after photos of her sexually humiliating inmates made her the face of a scandal that damaged the credibility of the U.S. military. England will plead guilty in a military court Monday to seven of the nine counts against her: two counts of conspiracy, four counts of maltreating prisoners and one count of dereliction of duty, The Associated Press quoted Rick Hernandez, her civilian lawyer, as saying. England, a 22-year-old Army reservist who was a clerk at the Baghdad-area prison, was scheduled to go to trial Tuesday at Fort Hood. Hernandez said the plea deal was reached Friday afternoon during a meeting with military prosecutors at Fort Hood.--SPA1046 Local Time 0746 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/258855
