A military gynecologist accused of secretly recording hundreds of women during medical consultations and gynecological examinations pleaded not guilty Wednesday at a court-martial at Fort Hood, Texas.
Blaine McGraw now faces nine charges and 273 specifications involving 93 alleged direct victims, according to the information provided. The alleged offenses date from 2021 through 2026 and involve both active-duty military personnel and military spouses.
The formal charges include 12 specifications of sexual assault, 79 of attempted sexual assault, 66 counts involving indecent visual recording and 91 specifications of assault causing bodily injury, along with allegations of conduct unbecoming an officer, willful disobedience of a superior officer and making false statements.
The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division began investigating after a patient formally reported concerns in October at the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood. McGraw was subsequently suspended from his duties.
McGraw had also served at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii from June 2019 through June 2023, where authorities notified patients about the investigation and provided information for anyone who wanted to report possible misconduct.
Fort Hood officials previously said they contacted more than 1,400 patients to inform them about the investigation.
A separate civil lawsuit filed under the pseudonym Jane Doe alleges that McGraw recorded nearly an entire medical appointment, including breast and pelvic examinations, without the patient’s knowledge or consent. The lawsuit also alleges that military leadership allowed McGraw to continue practicing despite previous reports of inappropriate conduct, an allegation the Army has officially denied.
The criminal allegations remain pending, and McGraw is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
