Army Doctor Accused of Covertly Recording Many Women During Medical Exams

Army Doctor Charged with Secretly Recording Patients

Prosecutors have brought charges against an Army obstetrician-gynecologist for allegedly recording numerous women during private medical examinations.

Dr. Blaine McGraw, stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, faces multiple charges, including obscene video recording, unbecoming officer conduct, willful disobedience to superiors, and making false statements. Reports indicate that these incidents occurred between January 1 and December 1, primarily at the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center. The Army’s Office of Special Judicial Counsel reported the findings.

One allegation involves a victim being recorded at a residence near Fort Hood. So far, 44 individuals have been identified as victims, and McGraw is currently held at the Bell County Jail.

In November, a woman referred to as “Jane Doe” filed a lawsuit in Bell County District Court, claiming McGraw secretly filmed her and exploited her during an examination. The complaint asserts that he “used his position of trust to sexually exploit, manipulate, and secretly record women under his control.”

The lawsuit details instances in which McGraw allegedly groped and examined Doe inappropriately, conducting invasive breast and vaginal exams unrelated to her actual medical issues. These alleged acts reportedly took place during at least seven or eight examinations conducted in the absence of a nurse. Doe sought treatment for pelvic pain and concerns regarding her uterus’s health.

The complaint also indicates that McGraw misrepresented the situation by claiming he had called for an appointment, with his cell phone in his breast pocket while he recorded a pelvic exam. He even suggested a breast exam despite Doe stating that she had no breast-related concerns.

Following the allegations, an Army Criminal Investigation Division investigator informed the victim—who is married to an active-duty service member—about the charges against McGraw during an interview on October 17. This occurred after McGraw had been suspended due to accusations of inappropriate conduct with patients.

McGraw’s attorney, Daniel Conway, mentioned that he had not yet reviewed the charging documents and maintained that there was “no non-medical contact.” McGraw was previously stationed at the Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii from June 2019 until June 2023. The medical center has informed patients about the ongoing investigation related to McGraw’s conduct.
