Abuse scandal soldier photographed having sex

THE woman soldier at the centre of the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal was photographed having sex with other military guards, sometimes in front of detainees, US senators said yesterday.

Private First Class Lynndie England has already become the face of the scandal, shown in pictures pointing at a naked Iraqi and holding another by a leash.

The petite 21-year-old, from a trailer home in West Virginia, claimed she was following orders from senior personnel and that the photos were used to terrify other inmates into talking.
