81 women file civil suit against army gynecologist already charged criminally
"Another 81 women have joined a civil suit against a US army gynecologist who was recently criminally charged in connection with accusations that he secretly filmed dozens of his patients during medical examinations. The civil lawsuit, which initially began in November, alleges that Blaine McGraw, a doctor and army major at Fort Hood in Texas, repeatedly inappropriately touched and secretly filmed dozens of women during appointments at an on-base medical center."
"The women allege they were subjected to invasive, unnecessary, and degrading touching, voyeurism, and covert filming. Attorneys for the alleged victims submitted an expanded complaint Wednesday, less than a day after the army's Office of Special Trial Counsel filed criminal charges against McGraw. According to CNN, the criminal charges involve 54 specifications of indecent visual recording and other related offenses concerning 44 identified victims."
Eighty-one additional women joined a civil lawsuit alleging that Blaine McGraw repeatedly inappropriately touched and secretly filmed dozens of patients during gynecological exams at an on-base medical center. The civil complaint accuses McGraw of assault, sexual assault, battery, voyeurism, covert filming, and harmful, offensive physical contact under Texas law. The army's Office of Special Trial Counsel filed criminal charges that include 54 specifications of indecent visual recording and related offenses involving 44 identified victims. One active-duty soldier alleges McGraw used his phone during a rape-kit exam, failed to document the kit, and her assailant was later acquitted due to lack of forensic documentation.
