An Army gynecologist, Dr. Blaine McGraw, entered a plea of not guilty to charges related to secretly videotaping patients during medical examinations. On Wednesday, McGraw was charged with indecent visual recording, indecent behavior as an officer, disobedience of a superior officer, and providing false statements. The Army Office of Special Trial Counsel previously identified 44 victims linked to incidents in 2025.
Dr. McGraw treated hundreds of service members and their spouses. He appeared at the Lawrence Williams Judicial Center on Fort Hood before military judge Colonel Jorge Rivera. According to KCEN of Central Texas, the court proceedings revealed that McGraw now faces nine charges and 273 counts involving 93 alleged victims. The Army disclosed that these actions occurred between 2021 and 2026.
The charges include 12 counts of sexual assault, 79 of attempted sexual assault, 66 of indecent recording, and 91 of assault consummated by battery. The Army charged McGraw in December after a probe by the Army Criminal Investigation Division began in October when a patient filed a complaint at Fort Hood. Most accusations relate to exams of female patients at the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center on the Fort Hood base, where McGraw worked.
NBC News initially disclosed the allegations against McGraw. The details included an interview with a former patient who sued him for recording her examination without consent. Her lawsuit alleges additional victims and claims Army leadership ignored prior complaints about McGraw’s misconduct. The suing patient, identified as Jane Doe to protect her privacy, is married to an active-duty service member.
Fort Hood officials reported that they halted McGraw’s duties immediately and launched an investigation upon receiving the complaint in October. The Darnall Army Medical Center commander informed over 1,400 of McGraw’s patients about the investigation. McGraw, who also worked at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii from June 2019 to June 2023, had his former patients notified about ongoing investigations and procedures for filing complaints, according to NBC News.
