Army gynecologist took secret videos of patients during intimate exams, lawsuit says

An Army gynecologist, Dr. Blaine McGraw, took secret intimate videos of a patient under his care at the Fort Hood base in Texas, according to a new lawsuit.

An Army gynecologist took secret intimate videos of a patient under his care at Fort Hood in Texas, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

The lawsuit says that the woman is believed to be one of scores who were preyed upon by Dr. Blaine McGraw and that Army leadership had allowed him to continue practicing despite receiving sexual misconduct complaints dating back years.

“By doing so, the Army gave cover to a predator in uniform,” says the lawsuit, which was filed in Bell County District Court.

McGraw has been suspended and is under investigation by the Army Criminal Investigation Division, or CID, according to a statement on Fort Hood’s media center website. It said “potentially affected patients” would be contacted by the investigators.

At least 25 women have been contacted by Army criminal investigators after they found photos and videos on McGraw’s electronic devices showing female body parts, a military official told NBC News. The lawsuit says the allegations against McGraw also include inappropriate touching, crude remarks and performing unnecessary procedures.
