Officials said the expanded case includes dozens of sexual assault and indecent recording allegations involving patients at an Army medical center.
FORT HOOD, Texas — The U.S. Army has dramatically expanded its criminal case against suspended Army gynecologist Maj. Blaine McGraw, preferring additional charges on April 7 that nearly tripled the original count and raised the number of alleged victims to 73.
The U.S. Army Office of Special Trial Counsel said McGraw, 47, now faces six charges and 146 specifications for alleged offenses occurring between Oct. 6, 2023, and Dec. 1, 2025.
The expanded charges include 64 specifications of sexual abuse and assault, 66 specifications of indecent recording, 13 specifications of conduct unbecoming an officer, one specification of attempted sexual assault, one specification of extramarital sexual misconduct and one specification of willfully disobeying a superior commissioned officer. The charges were filed under Articles 120, 120c, 133, 134 and 90 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
The case against Blaine McGraw
According to Army officials, the alleged offenses involving patients occurred during medical examinations with female patients at an Army medical center between Oct. 6, 2023, and Oct. 17, 2025. A 73rd alleged victim, who was not a patient, was reportedly recorded at a private residence near the installation.
The new charges build on initial charges filed Dec. 9, 2025, which included 54 specifications of indecent visual recording, five specifications of conduct unbecoming an officer, one specification of willful disobedience of a superior officer and one specification of making a false official statement. He was initially charged under Articles 120c, 133, 90 and 107 of the UCMJ.
McGraw waived the preliminary hearing for the original charges. With the additional charges now filed, the Army said a neutral officer will be assigned and a date scheduled for a preliminary hearing.
He also faces a civil lawsuit filed by more than 80 women seeking more than $82 million in damages for alleged sexual misconduct and voyeurism at the Army medical center.
In January 2026, McGraw filed a motion to dismiss the case, citing improper venue and lack of jurisdiction. A federal judge denied the motion March 26, 2026. McGraw has since filed a motion for special exception and remains in pretrial confinement.
Statement from Shield of Sisters
Shield of Sisters, a nonprofit that supports women veterans who have experienced military sexual trauma, issued a statement following the expanded charges.
“The decision by the Army Office of Special Trial Counsel to triple the charges against Major Blaine McGraw is a sobering acknowledgment of a betrayal that is breathtaking in its scale,” the organization said.
“With 146 specifications involving over 73 victims, we are no longer looking at isolated incidents; we are looking at a systemic failure of protection and a profound violation of trust between a physician, a soldier and their families.”
The group said it has been supporting survivors involved in the case and called for accountability and policy changes, including requiring third-party chaperones during sensitive medical procedures.
“Shield of Sisters will remain on the front lines of this case until justice is served,” the statement said.
