Army OB-GYN Accused of Secret Recordings Ordered Into Pretrial Confinement

Overview

• Fort Hood officials ordered Maj. Blaine McGraw into pretrial confinement on December 2 for allegedly violating commander-imposed restrictions, his attorney says he complied and disputes the decision.
• McGraw is being held at the Bell County Jail under a Fort Hood arrangement, and he has not been publicly criminally charged as the case proceeds under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
• Army CID reports conducting hundreds of interviews and reviewing more than half a terabyte of digital media while coordinating with the U.S. Army Office of Special Trial Counsel.
• The Army has notified more than 2,500 patients tied to McGraw’s care at Fort Hood and Tripler Army Medical Center and has set up a call center, special victims counsel and a patient support line.
• Hawaii’s congressional delegation formally requested an independent DoD and Pentagon inspector general review of McGraw’s training and supervision in Hawaii, as multiple law firms pursue FTCA claims on behalf of dozens of alleged victims.
