Background

Maj. Blaine McGraw treated patients at Fort Hood and other military facilities. Ninety-six women have come forward with allegations of abuse.

Maj. Blaine McGraw served as an obstetrician-gynecologist in the U.S. Army, assigned to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas. He previously completed his residency at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii (2019–2023). In late October 2025, a Fort Hood patient reported that McGraw had secretly recorded her during a gynecological exam — triggering a criminal investigation that has since expanded to 96 alleged victims and 273 criminal specifications, including counts of sexual assault, abusive sexual contact, and indecent visual recording. McGraw was placed in pretrial confinement in December 2025 and remains detained.

Alongside criminal proceedings under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, victims have filed civil lawsuits and Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) administrative complaints against the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense, and the Defense Health Agency. Those complaints allege the Army was negligent in hiring, supervising, and retaining McGraw, and failed to maintain adequate safeguards to protect patients from abuse by staff. A Bell County judge denied the Army's motion to dismiss the civil claims, and attorneys are actively reviewing cases from former patients at Fort Hood, Tripler, Blanchfield Army Community Hospital, and other military medical facilities.

If you were sexually abused or non-consensually recorded during care at a military medical facility, the law provides paths to accountability — both through the criminal process and through civil claims against the institutions responsible.

Recoverable Damages

What compensation may be available.

Damages vary by case, and every survivor's situation is different. Common categories of damages in military medical sexual abuse matters include:

Civil claims against the U.S. Army and Department of Defense proceed under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). Theories of liability include negligent credentialing, negligent supervision and retention, failure to implement adequate patient-safety protocols, and institutional concealment of prior complaints. In cases involving egregious conduct — such as the systematic secret recording of intimate examinations — punitive-style damages or enhanced remedies may be available depending on the court and applicable law.
