Army OB-GYN Accused of Secretly Filming Patients Held in Texas Pretrial Confinement

A military magistrate will soon decide whether his confinement continues.

Overview

  • Fort Hood officials ordered Maj. Blaine McGraw into pretrial confinement on Dec. 2 for violating conditions of liberty, and he is being held at the Bell County Jail.
  • The Army says charges have not yet been referred to a court-martial as CID’s probe, opened Oct. 17, continues with hundreds of interviews and extensive digital evidence review under the Office of Special Trial Counsel.
  • Authorities have notified roughly 3,000 former patients from Fort Hood and Tripler Army Medical Center and established call centers and special-victims support resources.
  • Hawaii’s congressional delegation requested an independent Pentagon and DoD inspector general review into potential oversight failures linked to McGraw’s time training and practicing in Hawaii.
  • Attorneys say they represent more than 75 accusers and are filing Federal Tort Claims Act administrative complaints alongside civil cases, while McGraw’s lawyer disputes that he violated any orders.
