JBLM (male) Army doctor accused of sexually assaulting nearly 4 dozen male patients
KOMO News ^ | 2/23/24 | Chris Daniels

Posted on 02/23/2024 8:12:12 PM PST by Uncle Miltie

JBLM Army doctor was formally arraigned on Friday in what has been described as the largest sexual assault case of its type in military history.

Michael Stockin said little during the brief arraignment at the Cascade Courthouse Complex as part of an Article 120 hearing. He stands accused of sexually assaulting at least four dozen men during his time as a pain management doctor at Madigan Army Hospital at JBLM.

Stockin deferred entering a plea during his first court appearance Friday, which is allowed in military court.

A charging sheet obtained by KOMO News claims that Stockin abused the soldiers under “fraudulent representation that the sexual contact served a professional purpose.”

KOMO News has seen complaints from the alleged victims who said they have been traumatized and sought mental health treatment as a result. Stockin has been barred from seeing patients since 2022, according to the Army.

The Army has stayed quiet for months as attorneys for the alleged victims have claimed the abuse may be more widespread.

A defense attorney for Stockin issued a statement that read in part, “Major Stockin and the defense team believes that the United States Army is one of the greatest organizations on the planet,” and “We urge everyone to keep an open mind, to remember Major Stockin is presumed innocent and understand that this fight is just getting started.”

But, the alleged victim’s attorney claims that the Army has failed to provide them with proper counsel and failed to immediately follow up on abuse claims. That has led the advocacy group called “Protect Our Defenders” to call for a congressional review saying, “This case exemplifies deeply serious issues within the US Military concerning access to critical support services for survivors and leadership accountability.”

Stockin’s case is scheduled to go to trial under military law in October. Stockin faces a maximum sentence of 336 years if convicted of the accusations.

Joint Base Lewis McHord. Army and Air Force. I think the hospital (Maddigan) is also for the VA.

“A real soldier would’ve whipped his arse, then and there.”

Maybe. I believe the doctor is a Major and another article mentions his victims as enlisted. The Army is kind of touchy about enlisted striking officers and they know it.

A druggie once threatened to accuse me of sexual assault during a pap smear if I didn’t give her narcotics. Luckily nearby staff heard the threat so I was not in trouble.

So was this guy assaulting patients or is it a fake scam.

Back in the 60’s Fort Lewis was an Army base and Madigan was an Air Force base both were south of Tacoma...

Was there fairly often back then...

I spent along time in the Army.

Every single sexual assault that ever happened in any of the units I was in....was a man assaulting another man.

Alot of times it was when a guy was passed out drunk..., other time a guy forced another guy to do “Stuff” at gunpoint, the worst instance, the guy was drugged, and raped so brutally, he spent a few days int he hospital.

In the last instance..the guy who did it went to Leavenworth for 20 years.

Apparently JBLM is Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base. But everything is “joint” now. So you can have an Air Force officer running the Army base, or an Army officer running and Air Force base.

“We urge everyone to keep an open mind,”

How about you just die in a fire? I’d be open to that.

WTF is a JBLM? Sorry to ask as I haven’t lived all over the world, just half of it.

It is that "Joint Base" foolishness that started with the The Defense Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1990.

They don't think they are idiots, it's just us sane people that think that.

Hint: they could have closed on the books the adjoining post or base and folded the units and their buildings under the post or base they kept open.   Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA

That Doctor must have felt right at home at a Joint Base.

Up to 100 victims and not one kicked the everlovin’ crap out of him?

Enlisted men do NOT assault an officer.

At least not openly...

KOMO News has seen complaints from the alleged victims . . .

The Army has stayed quiet for months as attorneys for the alleged victims . . .

But, the alleged victim’s attorney . . .

I wrote better in the 8th grade than these J-school grads.

I understand.

I also understand that anonymous help can be hired for reasonable rates and the Tacoma/Seattle area would likely harbor an excess of willing “tune up” specialists.

I am glad to hear that enlisted men NEVER assault officers.

“Many instances involved touching patients’ genitals for no medical purpose.”


Commander: You’re supposed to get an annual prostrate exam.

Soldier: It was a dental appointment!
