FORT HOOD, Texas (KXXV) — A total of 82 alleged victims have joined in a lawsuit filed against suspended Fort Hood OB-GYN Maj. Blaine McGraw, Andrew Cobos, of the Cobos Law Firm, confirms with 25 News.
Cobos says his firm has added an additional 81 alleged victims of McGraw to an original November filing representing a Jane Doe. The women are part an amended petition filed on Wednesday - less than 24 hours after McGraw was charged.
Watch a joint press conference and rally here:
25 News has obtained the most recent 20-page filing from Cobos, where it details new allegations against McGraw where he, “failed to document in her medical records that a rape kit had ever been performed,” and in the criminal case against her alleged rapist, the prosecution “lacked clear forensic documentation, and her assailant was ultimately acquitted.”
The lawsuit also described "deliberate steps" McGraw would take to allegedly secretly record his patients so that his "secret recordings were unobstructed."
Below is an image that was included in the recent filing, showing McGraw's "covert filming tactics" (Editor's note: this image has been cropped by 25 News to avoid showing potentially sensitive content):
McGraw would allegedly prop up his phone against his Army nameplate clip on his shirt pocket, “preventing the camera lens from being covered by his medical garments” and ensuring “a clear, forward-facing view of his patients’ exposed bodies.”
The lawsuit suggests that the Army should now investigate McGraw's time as a physician assistant at Fort Campbell in Kentucky. The lawsuit says there's been no official outreach to potential patients of McGraw's at Fort Campbell.
The lawsuit also claims that the Army knew about what McGraw was doing, which alleged victims describe as "invasive, unnecessary, and degrading touching, voyeurism, and covert filming," and dismissed complaints made against him.
25 News reached out to McGraw's attorney for a statement, but have not heard back.
The Cobos Law Firm and advocacy organization Shield of Sisters are holding a joint rally and press conference to demand accountability and systemic change for victims of alleged sexual assault and misconduct by former Army doctor Maj. Blaine McGraw.
A joint rally and press conference is scheduled for Wednesday at 5 p.m. at the Vanessa Guillen mural in Killeen. The event will focus on the urgent need for systemic change within the Department of Defense and military medical facilities.
Attendees at the event include survivors, family members, community advocates and veterans.
Survivors include the original Jane Doe from the first lawsuit filed by The Cobos Law Firm, as well as a second alleged victim of McGraw.
Representatives from The Cobos Law Firm will speak about the litigation and its findings.
Veteran representatives, military sexual trauma survivors and Shield of Sisters representatives will also address attendees.
In Killeen, the Shield of Sisters has established a Safe Room and deployed "Battle Angels" - trained survivors who have completed the Shield of Sisters retreat and received extra trauma-informed training to provide peer support. The organization maintains a 24/7 Military Sexual Trauma Assistance Hotline (920-951-1244) for immediate crisis intervention and has mental health professionals on standby to help survivors.
The organization has worked with over 30 women, providing direct support and referrals to specialized external organizations.
