The Gazette, Colorado Springs,Colo.

A Fort Carson, Colo., Soldier already facing first-degree murder, sexual assault and kidnapping charges has just seen another charge added to the list -- sexual exploitation of a child.

Spc. Robert Hull Marko, 21, who admitted raping and killing a Colorado Springs woman, now faces 22 charges in all, prosecutors said.

Senior Deputy District Attorney Debbie Pearson added the new charge on Feb. 27, telling 4th Judicial District Judge Larry Schwartz during a motions hearing that investigators found a DVD among items taken from Marko's residence that had more than 20 pictures of child pornography.

Marko admitted to raping and killing 19-year-old Judilianna "Judi" Lawrence Oct. 13. He led El Paso County sheriff 's detectives to her body, about three miles up Old Stage Road. Her throat had been slashed.

Lawrence's mother has said she suffered from severe attention- deficit disorder, was unable to drive and was taking classes preparing her to live independently.
