Overview
- The Office of Special Trial Counsel announced Wednesday that Maj. Blaine McGraw now faces eight charges and 273 specifications brought by 96 alleged victims, up from earlier filings that listed 73 victims.
- The expanded specifications include abusive sexual contact, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault, indecent recording, assault consummated by a battery, and conduct unbecoming an officer.
- Allegations stretch from 2019 to 2026 and involve examinations at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu during McGraw’s residency and at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, plus at least one off‑base private‑residence recording.
- A preliminary Article 32 hearing is set for May 26 at Fort Hood to determine probable cause and to guide whether prosecutors refer the case to a court‑martial, and investigators say they are still examining the matter for additional charges.
- Beyond the criminal case, more than 80 women have joined a civil lawsuit in Bell County, Texas, and the allegations have raised concerns about trust in military medical care and oversight of clinicians.
