This has the likelihood of becoming a major issue for AMEDD.

An Army gynecologist has been charged with secretly recording more than 40 of his patients at Fort Hood in Texas, military prosecutors said on Tuesday, as members of Congress expressed concerns that the Army was slow to stop his misconduct.
The doctor, Maj. Blaine McGraw, 47, an obstetrician-gynecologist at the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, has been charged with 54 counts of indecent visual recording, five counts of conduct unbecoming an officer, one count of willful disobedience of a superior officer and one count of making a false official statement, prosecutors said.
The U.S. Army Office of Special Trial Counsel said the charges covered crimes that the doctor committed against 44 victims this year. Most of the offenses happened during medical exams at Darnall Army Medical Center, although one victim, who was not a patient, was secretly recorded at a private home near Fort Hood, the office said. It said the investigation remained open.
Major McGraw worked at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu from 2019 until 2023, when he started at Fort Hood, military officials said.

Fort Hood said it suspended Major McGraw and revoked his access to medical records on Oct. 17, the same day a patient made allegations against him.
Tripler Army Medical Center said it had sent 1,100 letters to the doctor’s former patients, and Fort Hood said it had sent letters to over 1,400 former patients at Darnall Army Medical Center and had created a hotline for them to report misconduct.
Major McGraw has been held since Dec. 2 in pretrial confinement at the Bell County Jail, in Belton, Texas, after Fort Hood officials accused him of violating the “conditions of liberty imposed by his commander.” The base did not elaborate.
. . .




And the lawyers (and politicians) close in.


Based on the age of the accused major (47 y.o.) I wondered if there might be allegations that preceded his time at Tripler in Hawaii (2019). Apparently he completed medical school in 2019 and even administered the commissioning oath to fellow graduating classmates who joined the military as doctors. From the photo showing him doing that, it appears that his previous military service was in the infantry (edited to add) and as a Physician Assistant.
