Army Gynecologist Accused of Secretly Recording Female Patients at Fort Hood
An Army gynecologist, Dr. Blaine McGraw, is accused of secretly recording intimate videos of his patients at Fort Hood, Texas. At least 25 women have been contacted by Army criminal investigators after photos and videos were found on his devices. The lawsuit suggests there may be many more victims. McGraw has been suspended and is under investigation by the Army Criminal Investigation Division. The allegations include inappropriate touching, crude remarks, and performing unnecessary procedures. Attorney Andrew Cobos is representing over 45 women who have come forward with claims against McGraw. Investigators found thousands of photos and videos on McGraw's phone, taken over several years, depicting numerous female patients, many of whom are unidentified. The plaintiff in the case discovered the covert recordings last month when contacted by Army investigators. During a meeting, investigators showed the plaintiff images from videos found on McGraw's phone, which clearly depicted her during a recent examination. The investigators informed her that McGraw had recorded nearly the entire final appointment.
