Army Prosecutors Lay Out Digital and Medical Evidence Against Ex‑Fort Hood OB‑GYN

Overview

• Military prosecutors spent more than six hours at Tuesday’s Article 32 hearing detailing recovered videos, deleted thumbnails and files from the suspect’s phone, SD card and other accounts that they say show secret recordings of patients.
• Prosecutors say the charges now encompass hundreds of counts tied to about 96 alleged victims and include sexual abuse, assault consummated by battery, indecent recording and conduct unbecoming an officer.
• A government OB‑GYN who reviewed about 150 patient files told the hearing roughly two‑thirds did not meet the standard of care and described a pattern of unnecessary breast and pelvic exams, limited chaperone use, and deceptive consent practices.
• The accused, Maj. Blaine McGraw, did not testify and the defense offered no witnesses after prosecutors rested; investigators testified McGraw told agents he recorded exams as a form of note‑taking and acknowledged voyeuristic tendencies in earlier statements.
• The preliminary hearing officer will now issue a report to the Office of Special Trial Counsel recommending whether there is probable cause to refer the case to a general court‑martial, and McGraw remains in custody pending that decision.
