Army Vet Convicted for Abusing Kids Overseas

0:00A former US Army soldier from Atlanta just got hit with a federal conviction for sexually and physically abusing two young kids while he was posted. Overseas, Adam Schluter, a 37-year-old from Georgia, served in Grafenware, Germany, from 2009 to 2013. The jury nailed him on April 17 in the Northern District of Georgia. During that time, Schluter targeted two miners under age 12, hitting them with aggravated sexual abuse and assaults that caused serious injuries. Core docs show he used threats to keep everyone quiet, even warning he'd kill witnesses if they talked. The victim stepped up big in court, laying out the physical and emotional tolls straight from their experiences. This case shines a light on crimes by service members abroad, where oversight can slip through the cracks. Schluter's locked in on two counts each of sexual abuse of a kid under 12 and assault with major harm. No wiggle room here. It's a mandatory minimum of 30 years behind bars, up to life.
