Army Refers OB‑GYN to Court‑Martial Over Alleged Secret Recordings and Sexual Assault

The referral advances a large, digital-evidence case that could test military medical oversight.

Overview

  • The Army’s Office of Special Trial Counsel referred nine charges with 272 specifications against Maj. Blaine D. McGraw in a move announced this week, advancing the case to a general court‑martial.
  • Those specifications allege roughly 93 victims and cover incidents reported between 2021 and 2026 according to the Army’s filing.
  • The charges list detailed counts that include 91 specifications of abusive sexual contact and sexual assault, 66 specifications of indecent recording, 91 specifications of assault consummated by a battery and multiple related offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
  • McGraw remains in pretrial confinement at the Bell County Justice Center, is suspended from clinical duties and has an inactive medical license while the case awaits assignment to a military judge for arraignment and trial scheduling.
  • Investigators reviewed extensive digital evidence, identified about 1,400 potential patients who were notified and face ongoing civil litigation, while McGraw and his attorney continue to deny wrongdoing and say the recordings were for notetaking.
