Another 81 women have joined a civil suit against a US army gynecologist who was recently criminally charged in connection with accusations that he secretly filmed dozens of his patients during medical examinations.

The civil lawsuit, which initially began in November, alleges that Blaine McGraw, a doctor and army major at Fort Hood in Texas, repeatedly inappropriately touched and secretly filmed dozens of women during appointments at an on-base medical center.

The women allege they were “subjected to invasive, unnecessary, and degrading touching, voyeurism, and covert filming”.

Attorneys for the alleged victims submitted an expanded complaint Wednesday, less than a day after the army’s Office of Special Trial Counsel filed criminal charges against McGraw. According to CNN, the criminal charges involve 54 specifications of “indecent visual recording” and other related offenses concerning 44 identified victims.

Fucking wild. That kind of thing already happened (maybe it was in the UK?) where a gynecologist, or maybe it was a dentist, I dunno, some doctor who was knocking patients out, and then filming them and sexually assaulting them.

After that doctor was caught and convicted, I feel like the penalty for any other doctor doing it should be MUCH higher. Like, there are already laws and rules against it. But having seen someone else do it and get caught, and then thinking, "I bet I can do the same and not get caught"... I feel like they should be punished far worse. The first guy knew it was wrong and did it anyway. The second guy saw the first guy get caught and punished and then did the same thing.

This is disgusting. I hope he rots in a cell and understands the disgrace he's brought upon himself.
