Only problem with the reporting of this is he is no longer a Sargent. When a person is taken into military custody their rank is stripped. At least from what I remember... During sentencing they will "officially" reduce him in rank but there is no rank among prisoners.

No, he will hold on to his rank until he is sentenced. In this case I am sure he will go straight to E-1

even if there is no rank among prisoners, there certainly still is respect to experience. The prisoners respected Robert Redford in that one movie where he a general sent to a military prison. The Last Castle. A very good movie if you ask me.

He keeps his rank until convicted. Then he loses it. Officers do not lose their rank even after court-martial. They are dismissed from the service and discharged as the court directs. Other punishments are also as the court directs, in accordance with the MCM and UCMJ.
