FORT HOOD- Today marks the second day of proceeding in the court-martial of a 37-year-old noncommissioned officer accused of paying for sex with a low-ranking female solider.

Master Sgt. Brad Grimes is charged with conspiring to patronize a prostitute, patronizing a prostitute, committing adultery, solicitation to commit adultery and dereliction of duty. Grimes allegedly conspired with another Fort Hood NCO, Sgt. 1st Class Gregory McQueen, to arrange to have sex with a female private first class at the Killeen La Quinta Inn in February, according to prosecutors. McQueen has not been charged with anything.

Yesterday's proceeding included testimony from the female solider, who claimed Grimes paid her $100 for sex. The solider also provided details about an alleged ring of "escorts" on post.

Prosecutors also played a 90-minute video of Grimes being questioned by Fort Hood's Criminal Investigation Division. In the video, Grimes admitted to going to the hotel, paying for a room and buying condoms, but said he changed his mind and did not have sex with with the female solider.
