New Petition Describes Alleged Tactics Used by Suspended Fort Hood Doctor to Record Patients
Maj. Blaine McGraw faces 61 criminal charges and a civil lawsuit from 82 plaintiffs alleging systemic sexual abuse and unconsented medical procedures, seeking $82 million in damages.
- Army prosecutors have preferred 61 charges against suspended Army OBGYN Major Blaine McGraw, who remains in pretrial confinement at the Bell County Jail, while a civil petition by 82 plaintiffs seeks over $82 million.
- Plaintiffs argue systemic failures include the Army ignoring power imbalances soldiers face during exams, with attorney Andrew Cobos noting chaperones were often absent, calling it a 'broken system.'
- The petition alleges repeated tactics including McGraw using his Army nameplate to prop a cellphone for photos, performing off-the-books pelvic exams, inducing labor without consent at Tripler Army Medical Center, and failing to document rape kit procedures in medical records.
- A prior criminal case proceeded but the assailant was acquitted, and alleged victims say the fallout has destroyed their ability to feel safe seeing medical providers on and off post.
- Looking beyond individual allegations, the filings raise questions about military medical oversight, with plaintiffs alleging three alleged patterns of abuse in the petition.
