Full Analysis Summary
Army gynecologist charged
Maj. Blaine McGraw, an Army gynecologist who practiced at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas, has been criminally charged after an investigation into allegations that he secretly videotaped female patients during exams.
Multiple outlets report the Army Office of Special Trial Counsel announced the charges and that the allegations involve secretly recording patients.
Reports describe charges that include indecent visual recording (voyeurism), conduct unbecoming an officer, willful disobedience of a superior officer, and making a false statement under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Coverage Differences
Tone / Formal framing
Sources vary in how they frame the announcement: NBC News and Beritaja present the information in formal legal terms, noting the Office of Special Trial Counsel announced criminal charges, while Stars and Stripes names McGraw as an OB‑GYN and emphasizes the number of counts prosecutors filed. Each source is reporting the same core charges but with different emphases and formality.
Coverage of McGraw charges
Reporting differs on the specific counts and legal specifications.
Stars and Stripes says prosecutors charged McGraw with 61 counts across four charges.
KXXV provides a detailed breakdown, reporting he faces four charges with 61 specifications, including 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, citing the applicable UCMJ articles.
NBC News and Beritaja list the main charge categories but do not provide the full numeric breakdown in their snippets.
Coverage Differences
Detail / Missed information
KXXV supplies a precise numerical breakdown and cites specific UCMJ articles for the specifications (54 indecent visual recording, five conduct unbecoming, one willful disobedience, one false statement), while Stars and Stripes summarizes as 61 counts across four charges and NBC/Beritaja report charge categories without repeating the detailed count. This reflects variation in how much legal detail each outlet includes.
Reporting on alleged misconduct
Coverage also varies on the scope of alleged victimization and institutional response.
The New York Post reports officials say the alleged voyeurism affected 44 patients at Fort Hood and included at least one recording made inside a patient’s home.
The Post says McGraw was suspended from patient care on Oct. 17 after a civil suit alleging repeated groping and secret filming.
Nearly 3,000 patients treated by McGraw at Fort Hood and Tripler have been notified, with more than 100 women reporting possible victimization and one law firm representing 75 accusers.
Other outlets (Stars and Stripes, NBC, Beritaja) mention the suspension or charges but do not include the same level of victim-count detail in the provided snippets.
Coverage Differences
Omission / Emphasis
The New York Post includes extensive details about victim counts, notifications and a civil suit; Stars and Stripes and NBC note the suspension and charges but omit those victim-count and notification details in their snippets. This represents a substantive difference in what each outlet chose to include from available sources.
Conflicting timeline reports
Outlets disagree on the timing of the alleged misconduct.
KXXV specifies the incidents occurred 'between January and December 2025' at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center.
The New York Post says the secret filming occurred 'between January and December' but does not list a year.
NBC News and Beritaja report the alleged offenses began in January, but their snippets omit an end date or are truncated, leaving the time range ambiguous.
Coverage Differences
Date / Ambiguity
KXXV explicitly gives a year (2025) for the January–December timeframe, whereas New York Post repeats the January–December span without a year and NBC/Beritaja say only that the allegations began in January (with no clear end date in the provided text). This creates ambiguity across reports about the calendar year being referenced.
Coverage of McGraw case
The New York Post reports McGraw was jailed on Dec. 2 after being accused of violating orders and notes his suspension from patient care on Oct. 17 following a civil suit.
Stars and Stripes confirms the Oct. 17 suspension and highlights a 61-count charging document.
KXXV says McGraw was "formally recommended for charges" and lists the specific UCMJ articles cited.
NBC and Beritaja emphasize the Office of Special Trial Counsel's criminal charging announcement.
Together, these accounts portray an ongoing criminal and administrative process with slightly different emphases and wording across outlets.
Coverage Differences
Process / Wording
New York Post describes detention and suspension dates and frames the suspension as following a civil suit; KXXV uses the term 'formally recommended for charges' (suggesting a specific step in military charging procedures), while NBC and Beritaja emphasize the Office of Special Trial Counsel's announcement of criminal charges. These variations reflect different stages or framings of the legal and administrative process in the reporting.
