Army gynecologist took secret videos of patients during intimate exams, lawsuit says

Question

An Army OB-GYN is under investigation after a lawsuit alleged he secretly recorded patients during intimate medical exams at Fort Hood.

A civil lawsuit filed in Bell County, Texas, accuses Army Major Blaine McGraw, an OB-GYN at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, of secretly filming female patients during gynecological exams. The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, claims McGraw used his position to exploit and record her without consent. The lawsuit also alleges that Army leadership failed to act on prior complaints of sexual misconduct against McGraw, allowing him to continue practicing despite red flags.

According to NBC News, Army investigators discovered photos and videos on McGraw’s devices and have contacted at least 25 women who may have been affected. The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) has suspended McGraw and launched a formal investigation. The lawsuit, which may represent over 45 victims, argues that the Army’s inaction enabled a “predator in uniform” to operate unchecked.

This case raises serious concerns about oversight and accountability within military medical institutions, especially regarding how complaints of misconduct are handled.

Answer 1

A very true story.

Per CBS, all facts you provided are true. The first claim against McGraw was on October 14th, and that was the first day of his suspension. They have only reached out to the Jane Doe once, and haven't reached out to anyone pending a deeper investigation.

They also say that, military knew about previous allegations from 2019 when he was stationed in Hawaii, which also begs the question why they would rehire him for the job after having had previous allegations within the armed forces.
