FORT BRAGG, N.C - Prosecution witnesses Wednesday portrayed Pfc. Lynndie England as a promiscuous soldier who repeatedly disobeyed orders not to visit a boyfriend in a part of an Iraqi prison where detainees were abused.

Spc. Matthew Bolinger, her direct supervisor at Abu Ghraib prison, said England even sneaked out once when she was supposed to be confined to bed with a back injury. He said the late-night trysts were hurting the 21-year-old Army reservist's performance at her day job handling prison paperwork.

''She was sneaking out in the middle of the night, going down to the hard-site prison. She wasn't getting enough sleep,'' Bolinger testified in a military pretrial hearing. Bolinger said England was ''counseled'' four times between July 2003 and January 2004 after being caught in bed with Spc. Charles Graner, another soldier in England's unit who has been charged in the sweeping prisoner abuse case and is the father of the child England is now carrying.
