Alleged U.S. Army deserter Charles Jenkins is willing to appear voluntarily before the U.S. military in Japan for a plea bargain, according to informed sources.
The sources said Jenkins, whose wife is repatriated abductee Hitomi Soga, has informed Japanese officials of his intent to appear before the U.S. Army headquarters in Japan at Camp Zama in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Jenkins expressed the intent to seek a plea bargain after completing talks last week with a U.S. military lawyer, according to a source close to the case.
