The U.S. Army Office of Special Trial Counsel announced Tuesday that an Army gynecologist stationed in Texas has been formally charged with secretly recording patients during intimate exams.
Army Maj. Blaine McGraw, an obstetrician-gynecologist assigned to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, is accused of surreptitiously filming at least 44 women — including one individual who was not a patient — between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, 2025, the OSTC said. NBC News first reported the allegations.
The charges 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. Under military procedure, a preliminary hearing must be held before any case may be referred to trial; the OSTC said no such hearing has yet been scheduled. CBS News contacted McGraw’s attorney for comment.
McGraw was suspended from duty Oct. 17 after initial allegations surfaced. In November, a woman filing under the pseudonym Jane Doe sued in Bell County District Court, accusing McGraw of using his position of trust to sexually exploit, manipulate and secretly record women in his care. The complaint alleges the plaintiff sought treatment for pelvic pain and uterine concerns and that during seven or eight visits, after nurses were sent out or were not present, McGraw groped and examined her in ways unrelated to medical treatment.
McGraw’s lawyer, Daniel Conway, previously told CBS News that his client was “fully cooperative with the investigation.”
Fort Hood authorities ordered McGraw into pretrial confinement, and he was taken into custody Dec. 2 on an apparent violation of liberty conditions imposed by his commander. He remains held at the Bell County Jail in Belton, Texas as the investigation and military legal process continue.
