Judges will hear 39 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity against Kony, including murder, torture, rape, sexual slavery and pillaging at the ICC's first-ever in absentia hearing. A former Catholic altar boy and self-styled prophet, Kony founded and led Uganda's most vicious rebel group, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), in the 1980s.
