An Army gynecologist known as Maj. Blaine McGraw is in hot water with serious allegations that he has been secretly recording women while being treated medically. Honestly, reading about this news angers and frightens me at the same time. Hospitals are not supposed to be scary.
McGraw, who is forty-seven years old, was charged legally on Tuesday, December 9. Reports indicate that he faces 54 counts of illegal visual recordings. In addition, he has five counts of misconduct unbecoming an officer: one for failing to obey an order from a superior officer and one for making a false official statement.
He is currently confined at the Bell County Jail in Belton, Texas. He has been there since December 2. An official statement from the Army Criminal Investigation Division has confirmed this.
Before these events, McGraw had served at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, from June 2019 to June 2023. He was later transferred to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, stationed in Fort Hood, Texas.
While in Texas, he secretly recorded 44 patients, and, according to sources, such incidents occurred between January 1 and December 1, 2025. Most of these patients were allegedly given simple check-ups at the Darnall Army Medical Center.
One of the most shocking things I read was that about 1,500 people might have been told they were recorded without their knowledge. Just thinking about that really makes my stomach turn. Trust is everything when you have been to hospitals as often as I have.
It all started from a patient’s complaint on 17 October. He was suspended on the same day, and all accesses to patient records were revoked. The Army did the investigation within hours, according to them.
A Texas law firm called National Trial Law stated on November 5 of the same year that it would represent several purported victims of this scandal. They filed a suit against the U.S. government. According to the law firm, some victims had previously filed complaints yet no serious action was taken against McGraw, and he was still allowed to treat patients. According to the law firm, patients were recorded without their consent during private medical examinations.
Besides that, it accused McGraw of inappropriate touching during OB-GYN procedures against patients. That was the case on November twelve when the law firm filed the official complaint against the Department of the Army on behalf of one unknown victim referred to as Jane Doe One.
Yet another separate lawsuit was filed on November 10 in Bell County District Court by Cobos Law Firm. This lawsuit represents fifty-six purported victims. One of those is a military spouse listed as Jane Doe. The lawsuit claims the Army tried to keep the situation hidden.

The lawsuit makes it clear that the Army knew of the complaints. It asserts that warnings were raised both at Fort Hood and earlier in Hawaii but ignored by the leaders, allowing McGraw to remain in the workforce.
On December 3, investigators revealed that the case had become much broader in scope. They have conducted hundreds of interviews and reviewed more than half a terabyte of digital data.
Then, on December 8, Senator Mazie Hirono from Hawaii and over 50 other Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to the Pentagon calling for an investigation into any prior complaints against McGraw that the Army had ignored.
There is currently no tentative date for McGraw’s preliminary hearing. You may also be interested in: Florida Man Says He Was Teleported After Crashing Allegedly Stolen BMW
