"Military officials in Texas have suspended a US army gynecologist over allegations he inappropriately touched and secretly filmed dozens of women during appointments at an on-base medical center. A civil lawsuit filed in Bell county on Monday alleges that Blaine McGraw, a doctor and army major at Fort Hood, repeatedly groped a woman during a series of seven or eight consultations, and took intimate videos and photographs of her that were later found on his phone."
"The 13-page lawsuit, seen by the Guardian, also alleges that senior officers allowed McGraw to continue to work despite receiving complaints of sexual misconduct against him over several years and at another army medical center in Hawaii. By doing so, the army gave cover to a predator in uniform, the lawsuit states. This case exposes a shocking betrayal committed within the walls of a US army hospital."
A civil lawsuit filed in Bell County alleges that Major Blaine McGraw repeatedly groped and secretly recorded female patients during appointments at Fort Hood's on-base medical center. Investigators reportedly recovered thousands of photographs and videos from his phone, and at least 25 women contacted the army's criminal investigation division; the plaintiff's attorney says at least 45 women came forward. Earlier complaints from his time at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii allegedly were ignored by leadership, allowing misconduct to continue in Texas. Military officials suspended McGraw after images were discovered, and the suit alleges senior officers provided cover for the behavior.
