Also meant to add, the UCMJ normally specifies that the respective penalty be determined after a finding of guilt by Courts Martial. This doesn’t list it as one of the possible results of a CM; there is no requirement of any legal action other than by a commanding officer’s discretion.
I have one or two of them in the family.
They do not say much regarding this particular subject that I would relate publicly.
In short form, the units generally police themselves out of their moral base, regardless of the desires or orders issued by higher ranking personnel.
The officers understand this, and in fact count on such as a simple mechanism of unit control.
I get a kick out of the leftists who hate the military... They have no conception of cohesion or morality required to keep a pack of twentysomethings with automatic firearms and hand grenades in order. They do it all on their own, and they do it finer than any other force on the planet amongst themselves. They reach a balance... Or they die.

The article give the witness of abused male soldiers that the discretion of the commanding officers was not ignore the rape. I would venture to guess this is the same mentality of political correctness that permitted Hanson - a know Islamic Jihadist - to counsel returning troops, and ultimately murder troops at Fort Hood.
Political correctness is looking the other way and denying there is a problem on behalf of homosexual/bisexual perverts who are raping soldiers. Screw these assholes!
