Army Gynecologist Accused of Secretly Filming Patients During Exams, Lawsuit Alleges
An Army gynecologist stationed at Fort Hood is at the center of a lawsuit alleging he secretly filmed female patients during medical examinations, including pelvic and breast exams, without their knowledge or consent.The lawsuit further accuses the Army of ignoring prior warnings about the doctor’s behavior, allowing the alleged misconduct to continue for years.
The complaint details a specific incident on October 14, 2025, involving patient Jane Doe. according to the lawsuit, Dr. McGraw allegedly faked a phone call and then resumed a pelvic examination while placing his phone in his breast pocket with the camera facing outward and recording. He then allegedly asked Doe to remove her pants for further examination, continuing to record without her consent. The suit claims McGraw also suggested a breast exam despite Doe stating she had no related concerns, and did not seek consent to record any part of the examination.
The lawsuit further alleges McGraw made “unsolicited, after hours” phone calls to Doe.
According to the complaint, Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) agents contacted Doe on October 17, requesting an interview. During the interview, the agents informed Doe that McGraw had been secretly filming multiple female patients during their appointments and showed her still photos from the video allegedly taken during her October 14 exam. Investigators also reportedly told Doe that McGraw possessed video footage from her final appointment,including a breast and pelvic exam,also taken without her knowledge or consent.The images and videos were allegedly stored on multiple devices.
The lawsuit asserts that the Army was aware of McGraw’s alleged conduct as early as 2019, during a previous assignment at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii. The complaint alleges that “leadership dismissed the warnings,laughed off credible allegations,and allowed McGraw to continue practicing,” effectively “giving cover to a predator in uniform.”
The Army is accused of demonstrating “indifference” to complaints against McGraw,with a response described as “bureaucratic,callous,and wholly inadequate.” The lawsuit claims a husband who attempted to report McGraw’s filming was repeatedly denied meetings with Army leadership and was told to simply “send an email.”
Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges the Army failed to provide support to victims, stating that “no proactive outreach was made to patients” after the allegations surfaced. To date, the complaint states, no one from the Army has contacted Doe or other potential victims to offer support, discuss their experiences, or address the alleged institutional failures that allowed the misconduct to persist.
Fort Hood officials stated they are “underway to examine all facets of the issue, including systems, clinical processes, policies, and other areas,” and that the investigations are ”intended to ensure that the rigorous standards in place were followed.”
