ROK Military Sex Crimes Will Be Tried in Civilian Courts
If this was done for the U.S. military I am willing to bet there would be less convictions because of the higher standards to convict in a civilian court:
Military sex crimes will be tried in civilian courts, not in military courts, as the National Assembly on Tuesday approved a revision of the military justice system in the wake of suicide deaths of sexual harassment victims at barracks.
Under the revision of the Military Court Act, all sex crimes in the military will be tried at civilian courts from the beginning. Also to be dealt with by civilian courts, rather than courts-martial, include such violent crimes as homicide and crimes that service members committed before joining the military.

Actually it depends on two things for any trial military or civilian location and persons involved. When I served at Fort Hell (Hood) if a civilian was involved or if a crime occurred off-post military & civilian prosecutors would work together to see who could get an easier conviction & harsher sentence. Soldiers were held at RCF no matter what until conviction then turned over if Texas got the conviction. So if a sex crime was perpetrated off post or on a civilian they could quite possibly end up in a Texas penitentiary. Also double jeopardy doesn’t exist so in a few cases both courts heard the same case to make certain someone was held responsible.
