“When he came into the shop, the sergeant was waiting for him and called out his name. The lad said ‘Yeah’ and confessed to the copper that the pictures were his.

“The officer showed him his badge and took him through to the back of the shop. He went straight away. He didn’t struggle or anything.

“About half an hour later an unmarked blue car pulled up outside and they took him away. "

Perhaps it's a minor point in the overall story but I am curious by what jurisdiction the police officer took the soldier into custody. No assault was committed in the UK, no extradition demand was issued from Iraq, nor was any army detainer order outstanding. Nor would the photos themselves be criminal since as described they show no more then can be seen on prime time British comedy shows.

Just a thought.

I would think that photos of rape would be criminal of anyone who was part of the act. The followup story on the thread looks like they just escorted him to the military police to deal with.
