SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - The National Guard says a western Illinois soldier charged with possession of child pornography in Afghanistan has been discharged from the Army and will not face a court-martial.

Illinois National Guard Maj. Brad Leighton says William Miller of Galesburg agreed this week to a Chapter 10 discharge, which means he admitted to unspecified misconduct and has been dishonorably discharged.

It is not clear if Miller will be prosecuted when he comes home. Army officials say they have not been in contact with civilian authorities.

Miller was charged Jan. 5 with possession of child pornography.

Miller's family has said he had innocent photos they sent him of a young relative. Army officials contend the charges are not related to those photos.
