Photographs of her smiling and pointing at naked Iraqi prisoners have appeared in media outlets around the world.
Six soldiers have already been charged over the alleged abuse. Seven others have been reprimanded.
In one of the photographs, Private England is pictured with a leash tied round the neck of a crumpled Iraqi prisoner.
