A Navy spokesman, when reached by USNI News on Monday, was unable to provide details on the reduction in rate.""

If frocked you are wearing the rank but are not yet being paid. Any "judiciary" punishment's, reduction in rank for example, will be enforced at your current paid rank. So in this case the reduction in rank was technically AT1 (E6) down to AT2 (E5) even though ATC (E7) was the rank being worn.
