An Army gynecologist at Fort Hood, Texas, faces multiple charges for allegedly making secret recordings of women during their exams, according to several reports.The Army’s Office of Special Trial Counsel announced the charges against Maj. Blaine McGraw on Tuesday, which involve the physician’s alleged actions toward more than 40 patients. The charges include “54 specifications or alleged instances of indecent visual recording, five specifications of conduct unbecoming an officer, one specification of willful disobedience of a superior officer, and one of making a false statement,” CNN reported.A lawsuit filed in November accused McGraw of covertly recording women, making lewd comments and conducting invasive examinations. That suit followed an allegation made by a patient in October, after which Fort Hood said it suspended him.According to Andrew Cobos, an attorney representing some of McGraw’s alleged victims, the allegations against the physician span a wide range of abuses. “He took photographs and videos of them as they were in their most vulnerable position in his exam room. He touched them in improper ways that were medically unnecessary. And, on occasion, he induced birth without their consent, without their knowledge, and without notification to their family that they were going to give birth,” Cobos told PBS in November.The November lawsuit also claimed that Army authorities allowed McGraw, who had also previously worked at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii, to continue treating patients despite having received other sexual misconduct complaints. “By doing so, the Army gave cover to a predator in uniform,” the lawsuit stated. Fort Hood said that it opened an investigation after receiving an allegation in October, and that it was conducting outreach to McGraw’s other patients in case they were also potentially impacted.
