If the crime was treated as treason, would this help to deter perpetrators because of the punishment?

This question is leaning towards "the ends justifies the means." Sexual assault is evil, and should be punished as such. Its not treason and I'm tired of SHARP taking precedence over training for war. I think we've reached a "T" in SHARP... seriously.

Increase in reporting is not necessarily a bad thing. It does not always mean that sexual assaults are happening more frequently in the present but rather more Soldiers are coming forward and reporting older incidences. A lot of the incidences could have happened in the past maybe even before entrance into military service. With the focus on sexual assault, victims now feel more comfortable reporting versus in past when SA was a low priority and the perps were only gettings slaps on the wrist if punished at all.

Sexual Assault it really bad, but I don't see it on the same level as Treason.
There should be 0 tolerance.
We should prosecute to the full extent of the law.
