Overview
- Maj. Blaine McGraw pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on Aug. 12, 2026, and remains in pretrial confinement at Bell County Jail near Fort Hood.
- Charging documents list nine formal charges and about 272–273 specifications that allege roughly 93 alleged victims and include counts of abusive sexual contact, indecent recording and related offenses.
- Prosecutors say the inquiry began after an October 2025 complaint and the discovery of a phone that contained covert videos from exams, and Army investigators suspended McGraw and expanded the probe through December 2025.
- The defense says many specifications are duplicate counts, insists the exams were medically appropriate and denies proof of sexual intent, while an Article 32 examiner recommended prosecuting McGraw on most allegations.
- Next steps include filings from both sides and a scheduling decision on whether McGraw will have a judge or jury trial, with prosecutors warning the case could span weeks and call scores of witnesses and investigators continue to review additional complaints.
