In this section, the term ‘nonprosecutable sex-related offense’ means an alleged sex-related offense (as that term is defined in section 1044e(g) of title 10 , United States Code) that a court-martial convening authority has declined to refer for trial by a general or special court-martial under chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code (the Uniform Code of Military Justice), due to a determination that there is insufficient evidence to support prosecution of the sex-related offense.”
