SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A Muslim chaplain who served at the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was charged Tuesday with adultery and storing pornography on a government computer, a U.S. Southern Command spokesman said.

 

Army Capt. James Yee, who worked at the prison camp for terror suspects in eastern Cuba, was released from custody Tuesday after being served with the additional charges, Raul Duany, a spokesman for U.S. Southern Command in Miami, told The Associated Press.

 

He was arrested earlier this year in Florida and confined to the military brig in Charleston, S.C.

 

Military officials brought the additional charges after an investigation, Duany said. The charges include storing pornographic images on his computer, having sexual relations outside marriage, disobeying an order and making a false official statement.

 

Yee, who also uses the first Yousef, will be sent to Fort Benning, Ga., where he will continue to perform religious duties but will be barred from having any contact with prisoners at Guantanamo, Duany said.

 

Yee, a Chinese-American who converted to Islam after graduating from West Point, was arrested Sept. 10 in Jacksonville, Fla.

 

Federal agents said they found the native of Springfield, N.J., carrying sketches of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, where he counseled prisoners accused of links to Afghanistan's deposed Taliban regime or the Al Qaeda terror network.

 

Once a chaplain at Fort Lewis, Wash., Yee was charged on Oct. 10 with disobeying a general order by taking classified material home and transporting classified information without proper security containers.

 

His wife, Huda Suboh, 29, lives in Olympia, Wash., with their two young children. She was not immediately available for comment on Tuesday but earlier defended his innocence

 

Just thought you guys would like an update.

 

EDIT: Althought this doesn't neccesarily say that the espionage charges were dropped, it seems to me that a suspected terrorist wouldn't be allowed to continue giving religious services.

You'd be surprised what they'd let you do.
