The Case Now Has Formal Criminal Charges
On Dec. 9, 2025, the U.S. Army Office of Special Trial Counsel formally preferred criminal charges against Maj. Blaine McGraw, a 47-year-old Army obstetrician-gynecologist assigned to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas. The Army has publicly confirmed that four charges and 61 specifications have now been filed under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. At this stage, the Army has not yet released a standalone public charging document on its official court-martial docket system, and no trial date has been announced. The formal prosecuting authority in the case is the Army’s Office of Special Trial Counsel, which handles serious violent and sexual offenses across the service.
What McGraw Is Officially Accused Of
According to the Army’s charging announcement, McGraw faces 54 specifications of indecent visual recording under Article 120c, five specifications of conduct unbecoming an officer under Article 133, one specification of willful disobedience of a superior officer under Article 90, and one specification of making a false official statement under Article 107 of the UCMJ. The Army alleges the charged conduct occurred on multiple occasions between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 1, 2025. Most of the alleged offenses are said to have taken place during medical examinations involving female patients at the Fort Hood medical center. One additional alleged victim, who was not a patient, was purportedly recorded in a private off-post residence near Fort Hood. The Army states that 44 victims have been identified so far. Because the Army has not published these specifications in a publicly accessible court filing yet, these details currently rely solely on the Army’s own prosecutorial announcement.
Current Custody Status and PResumption of Innocence
McGraw is presently being held in pretrial confinement at the Bell County Jail in Belton, Texas. Pretrial confinement in military cases requires commanders and judicial authorities to determine that lesser forms of restraint are inadequate, but it does not imply guilt. The Army explicitly states the charges remain allegations only, and McGraw is legally presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at a general court-martial.
