LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 7 (UPI) -- A former U.S. Army private has pleaded innocent in a Kentucky courtroom to charges he raped an Iraqi woman and killed her and three members of her family.
Steven Green, 21, of Midland, Texas, made his initial court appearance in Louisville, Ky., to answer one charge of rape and four charges of murder in U.S. District Court.
Green left the Army last month because of an unspecified "personality disorder," The Washington Post said. His discharge came more than two months after an attack on a family in a village south of Baghdad. Pentagon officials told the Post Green was honorably discharged before they found out about the attack allegations.
Federal prosecutors claim Green was among a group of U.S. troops that went to a house planning to rape a young Iraqi woman. The woman, her parents and a sister of the woman were killed in an attack.
