The U.S. Army on Tuesday charged Maj. Blaine McGraw, an Army OB-GYN, with secretly recording medical examinations of dozens of individuals.
In a statement, the Army’s Office of Special Trial Counsel said it had preferred four charges and 61 specifications against McGraw. The alleged misconduct occurred between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, 2025, and involves 44 named victims, the office said.
More than 50 of the specifications involve indecent visual recording. Additional charges include five counts of conduct unbecoming an officer, one count of willful disobedience of a superior officer, and one count of making a false statement.
The Army stated that most of the alleged recordings took place during medical examinations of female patients at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas. One individual, who was not a patient, was allegedly recorded at a private home.
McGraw is in pre-trial confinement at a Texas jail after allegedly violating conditions set by a commander, the Army said in a separate statement.
In November, McGraw was also named in a civil lawsuit filed in Bell County, Texas. The suit accused him of sexual misconduct, including the covert filming of a breast and pelvic examination.
Protect Our Defenders, a nonprofit focused on addressing sexual abuse in the military, said in a statement Tuesday that it is representing victims in the case. The organization also provided a link for others to seek legal assistance at no cost.
McGraw previously treated patients at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii from June 2019 to June 2023. Tripler announced last month that it planned to notify former patients about the investigation and how they can contact Army investigators or the hospital for support.
“Survivors of military abuse deserve justice, accountability, and independent support,” said Nancy Parrish, CEO of Protect Our Defenders. “The situation at Fort Hood is a sobering reminder that servicemembers can still face profound risks from individuals they should be able to trust.”
