A Joint Base Lewis-McChord doctor accused of sexually abusing dozens of male patients declined to enter a plea as he was arraigned on Friday afternoon.Major Michael Stockin works as a pain doctor at JBLM’s Madigan Army Medical Center. Multiple men have come forward to tell their stories about how they went to Maj. Stockin as a patient seeking help, only to have their genitals groped under the guise of a sensory exam.
"We understand, without exception – that in today’s political culture – the media will continue to condemn Major Stockin and render judgment before a jury or judge even hears evidence," Capovilla said.Stockin is now required to keep both his higher-ups and his legal counsel in the loop about his whereabouts at all times. He remains out of custody, and freely left the courtroom after spending more than four hours within the court complex on Friday.
"I’m incredibly grateful to my clients who have been so brave in coming forward," said Guilds, of Arnold & Porter. "I look forward to continuing to support them for a long and difficult journey ahead."He called the process to this point frustrating, echoing the letter he sent U.S. Senators late last month. Sex assault within the military has been a sore topic for some time. Over the past several years, there has been a push to revise how these types of cases are handled.
