An Army gynecologist in Texas has been formally accused of secretly recording patients during intimate exams, the U.S. Army Office of Special Trial Counsel said Tuesday.
Army Maj. Blaine McGraw, an OB-GYN at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, is alleged to have surreptitiously filmed video of at least 44 women — including one person who was not a patient — between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, 2025, according to the independent counsel that prosecutes crimes in the Army. NBC News first reported the charges.
The charges filed against McGraw include 54 specifications of indecent visual recording, five specifications of conduct unbecoming an officer, one specification of willful disobedience of a superior officer, and one specification of making a false official statement. A preliminary hearing is required before he can be referred for trial; no hearing has been scheduled, the Army OSTC said. CBS News reached out to McGraw’s attorney.
McGraw was suspended Oct. 17 after allegations emerged. In November, one alleged victim filed a lawsuit in Bell County District Court under the pseudonym Jane Doe, accusing him of using his position of trust to sexually exploit, manipulate and secretly record women under his care. The complaint says the plaintiff sought treatment for pelvic pain and uterine concerns and that during seven or eight visits, after sending nurses out or not having one present, McGraw allegedly groped and examined her in ways unrelated to treatment.
McGraw’s attorney, Daniel Conway, previously told CBS News his client was “fully cooperative with the investigation.”
Fort Hood officials ordered McGraw into pretrial confinement, and he was taken into custody Dec. 2 for an apparent violation of liberty conditions imposed by his commander. He is being held at the Bell County Jail in Belton, Texas.
