CRAWFORD, Judge
(concurring in part and dissenting in part):
I concur with the majority that Appellant’s plea of guilty to receiving child pornography was provident as to the lesser included offense involving service-discrediting conduct. I also concur with the majority’s holding as to the legal sufficiency of the evidence concerning the use of a minor to create child pornography and taking indecent liberties.
While I agree the charges mentioned by the majority are not multiplicious, I respectfully dissent from the holding there was unreasonable multiplication of charges. The military judge’s action in this case in consolidating the charges and specifications for sentencing was more than a sufficient remedy.
