The U.S. Army on Tuesday charged an OB-GYN with secretly recording medical exams of dozens of individuals. Maj. Blaine McGraw faces four charges with 61 specifications, covering alleged incidents that took place between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, 2025, involving 44 victims.
Most of the allegations relate to “indecent visual recordings,” with additional charges including conduct unbecoming of an officer, willful disobedience of a superior, and making a false statement. The majority of the alleged incidents occurred during examinations of female patients at the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas, with one victim recorded at a private home without their knowledge. McGraw is currently held in a Texas jail under pre-trial confinement after reportedly violating conditions set by his commander.
The doctor was previously accused of sexual misconduct, including secret recordings during breast and pelvic exams, in a civil lawsuit filed in November in Bell County, Texas. A national nonprofit that supports survivors of military sexual abuse is representing victims in the case and has provided resources for other potential victims to seek legal assistance at no cost. McGraw had treated patients at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii from June 2019 to June 2023. Last month, Tripler announced plans to notify former patients about the investigation and provide information on how to contact Army investigators and access support services. The organization’s CEO emphasized the need for justice and accountability, noting that service members should be able to trust the medical professionals who care for them.
