Investigators have identified at least 23 alleged sex assault victims, including former patients of Maj. Michael D. Stockin, the Army doctor facing scrutiny.
Stockin, reached by phone and asked if he was aware of the allegations, said that he had retained legal counsel and needed to consult his lawyer.
Stockin has been assigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, about 40 miles south of Seattle, since July 2019, though it is unclear if all of the alleged assaults occurred there. Official personnel records provided by the Army show that, over his 10-year military career, he has served in Iraq, at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii and at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center outside of D.C.
“The longer it went on,” the soldier said, “the more it irked me. The longer I let it fester, the more I’m thinking, ‘That wasn’t right. If I’m keeping my mouth shut, this is going to keep happening.’” Reached by phone, his wife said she became aware of the Army investigation after filing for divorce and declined further comment about the case.
