HONOLULU – An Army medic charged with conspiring with his lover to kill his wife has been convicted of sexually abusing a child.
Tripler Army Medical Center spokeswoman Leanne Thomas said Thursday a military judge found Pvt. Michael Walker guilty after a court martial in Hawaii.
The judge also convicted him of assault and communicating a threat. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Walker is awaiting trial in federal court on a murder charge in the killing of his wife. Catherine Walker was found stabbed to death in November 2014 at the military housing the couple shared in Honolulu.
