   (Reuters) - A female soldier testified before a military panel   
   in Texas on Tuesday that she was recruited into a prostitution   
   ring by a superior at Fort Hood, one of the largest Army bases   
   in the United States, according to a local TV report.   
      
   Sergeant First Class Gregory McQueen has been accused of running   
   the sex ring at the base in central Texas. He is facing 21   
   charges related to pandering, conspiracy, maltreatment of a   
   subordinate, abusive sexual contact, adultery and conduct of a   
   nature to bring discredit to the armed forces.   
      
   The female soldier, who was not identified by name, said during   
   testimony that McQueen approached her when she was a 20-year-old   
   single mother struggling to pay her student loan bills,   
   according to the report on TV station KWTX.   
      
   The witness said McQueen told her to take pictures of herself so   
   he could connect her with high-ranking officers who would pay to   
   have sex with her, according to the report.   
      
   The proceedings at Fort Hood, similar to a pretrial hearing in a   
   civilian court, are expected to take two days.   
      
   Another soldier from the Texas base was demoted last year after   
   he was found guilty of conspiring to patronize a prostitute and   
   solicitation to commit adultery.   
      
   The Fort Hood cases are part of a spate of sex-related incidents   
   in the military that have prompted Congress to look at ways to   
   make top brass more accountable for the conduct of soldiers.
