I do note that the military definitions have been changing over time:

- For incidents that occurred prior to the changes made to the UCMJ on October 1, 2007, the term “sexual assault” referred to the crimes of rape, nonconsensual sodomy, indecent assault, and attempts to commit these acts.

- For incidents that occurred between October 1, 2007 and June 27, 2012, the term “sexual assault” referred to the crimes of rape, aggravated sexual assault, aggravated sexual contact, abusive sexual contact, wrongful sexual contact, nonconsensual sodomy, and attempts to commit these acts.

- For incidents that occur on or after June 28, 2012, the term “sexual assault” refers to the crimes of rape, sexual assault, aggravated sexual contact, abusive sexual contact, nonconsensual sodomy, and attempts to commit these acts.

By the definitions I've looked up, since the end of 2007 "sexual assault" in the military now applies to everything from rape to grabbing someone's ass (the latter being "abusive sexual contact"). This may be affecting the statistics, at least for any comparisons before and after 2007, but I have not looked into it enough to state that positively.

Don't ask me why "wrongful sexual contacts" got dropped last summer, or why "aggravated sexual assault" got dropped to "sexual assault." Ask a lawyer.

It is obvious that the military is paying close attention, at least as far as gathering data is concerned.
