SEOUL — A master sergeant with 21 years in the military was found guilty Wednesday of having sex with a 19-year-old private in his chain of command in December 2007 and for having an inappropriate relationship with an officer last fall.

Master Sgt. Morgan Bowman, non-commissioned officer in charge of the 106th Medical Detachment, pleaded not guilty to three charges of failure to obey orders and regulations, cruelty and maltreatment, and obstruction of justice.

A court-martial panel deliberated for almost two hours before announcing its verdict.

Bowman testified that Pfc. Ashley Clifton, now 20, visited his apartment between Dec. 20 and Dec. 30, 2007, but that they never had sex.

He also said he never kissed her or provided her alcohol.
