The charged offenses are alleged to have occurred between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, with the majority taking place during medical examinations with female patients at the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, the Army Office of Special Trial Counsel said. There are a total of 44 victims, and the investigation continues, it added. One victim, who was not a patient, was secretly recorded at a private residence near Fort Hood, the trial counsel’s office said. No other details were provided. McGraw had already been in custody at the Bell County Jail after he was found last week to have violated “conditions of liberty imposed by his commander,” Army officials have said, without elaborating. McGraw’s attorney, Daniel Conway, said he had yet to see the charging documents.”I am aware that they cover non-contact recording allegations,” Conway said. “We expect the charges will cover offenses for which Dr. McGraw was cooperative with law enforcement. We continue to be cooperative while maintaining that no non-medically touching occurred.”McGraw had been under investigation since October, when a patient complained about him to Fort Hood officials. The Army Criminal Investigation Division has identified at least 30 women as having been photographed or videotaped, NBC News reported last month. Dr. Blaine McGraw.Bell County Sheriff’s OfficeOfficials at Fort Hood and the Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii, where McGraw worked from June 2019 to June 2023, have sent letters to patients informing them of the investigation and the creation of a hotline to report complaints. The charges were filed about a month after a former patient sued McGraw, accusing him of recording intimate videos of her without her knowledge. The woman, who is married to an active-duty service member with more than 20 years in uniform, filed the lawsuit under the name Jane Doe to protect her identity.The lawsuit alleges that there are scores of additional victims of McGraw’s misconduct and accuses Army leadership of allowing him to continue practicing despite complaints about him that dated back years. Fort Hood officials have denied those allegations, saying they immediately suspended McGraw after a patient complained about him.Before he practiced at Fort Hood, McGraw treated patients at the medical center in Hawaii from June 2019 to June 2023. Tripler announced last month that it was planning to notify McGraw’s former patients about the investigation and about how to contact Army investigators and reach out to the hospital for support.Courtney KubeCourtney Kube is a correspondent covering national security and the military for the NBC News Investigative Unit.Mosheh GainsI am NBC News’ producer & off-air reporter covering stories about and related to the Defense Department around the world.Laura StricklerLaura Strickler is the senior investigative producer on the national security team where she produces television stories and writes for NBCNews.com.
