A Fort Carson colonel will face court-martial next month on allegations that he attempted to view child pornography on his computer while serving in Afghanistan.
Lt. Col. Patrick O’Mahoney, assigned to the 4th Infantry Division’s headquarters battalion, is also charged with failing to obey orders for the 2013 incident in Afghanistan. An Army reservist who has spent 30 years in uniform, O’Mahoney was recalled to active duty to face the charges, Fort Carson said.
“Specifically, Lt. Col. O’Mahoney is charged with attempting to view child pornography, viewing pornography on a government computer, and for using a computer to search and view child erotica and child pornography,” Fort Carson said in a Thursday statement.
O’Mahoney is the highest ranking officer at the post to face court-martial in a decade.
