Fort Hood doctor accused of sexual misconduct charged with secretly recording his patients

Thursday, December 11, 2025 -A U.S. Army obstetrician‑gynecologist assigned to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas, has been formally charged with secretly recording dozens of his patients during intimate medical examinations, military prosecutors announced this week. 

Maj. Blaine McGraw, 47, faces 61 criminal counts, including 54 counts of indecent visual recording, along with charges of conduct unbecoming an officer, willful disobedience of a superior officer, and making a false official statement under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. 

The alleged offenses occurred between January 1 and December 1, 2025, and involve at least 44 identified victims, the majority of whom were female patients seen during exams at the base medical center. McGraw was arrested and placed in pretrial confinement after being suspended in October amid a broader criminal investigation.

The charges stem from a growing body of evidence gathered by the Army Criminal Investigation Division, which included hundreds of interviews and the review of extensive digital media. Prosecutors allege that McGraw secretly recorded patients without their consent, including one alleged victim filmed off‑post at a private residence. 

The case followed an initial civil lawsuit filed in October by a patient identified only as “Jane Doe,” who accused McGraw of using his position of trust to sexually exploit and covertly record women under his care during multiple appointments. 

As the investigation unfolded, the Army notified more than 1,400 individuals who may have been treated by McGraw at Fort Hood and at his previous assignment at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii.

The revelations have sparked outrage within the military community and beyond, with survivors and advocates calling for accountability and systemic reform across military medical facilities. Additional lawsuits have expanded the number of alleged victims, and rallies have taken place demanding justice and stronger protections for patients. 

Army leadership said it is cooperating with the ongoing investigation and reviewing medical treatment policies to prevent future abuses, but critics argue that the case highlights serious lapses in oversight and patient safety at military treatment facilities.
