Overview
- A Bell County lawsuit filed under the pseudonym Jane Doe alleges Maj. Blaine McGraw covertly recorded an Oct. 14 exam and engaged in groping and unnecessary intimate procedures at Fort Hood’s Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center.
- Plaintiffs’ attorneys now report representing roughly 50 alleged victims, including patients from McGraw’s prior posting at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii where earlier complaints were allegedly dismissed.
- Fort Hood says McGraw was suspended Oct. 17 and remains under an active Army CID investigation, with multiple additional reviews launched into systems, clinical processes, and policies.
- A military official and court filings indicate investigators found thousands of images and videos on McGraw’s devices and have interviewed more than 25 patients after sending about 1,400 notification letters.
- Law firms have begun filing Federal Tort Claims Act claims against the Army, while McGraw’s attorney says he is cooperating with investigators and no public criminal charges have been announced.
