Fifteen current or retired Joint Base Lewis-McChord servicemen who say the Army failed to protect them from a military doctor who has been charged with sexual abuse are each seeking $5 million in damages for the emotional distress they say they have suffered.

Snag these new Insider Deals before they are goneFILE - A new sign is unveiled during a ceremony marking the initial operational capability of the merger of Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base into Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Monday, Feb. 1, 2010, in Washington state.

His lawyer, Robert Capovilla, said they intend to fight every allegation until the jury reaches a verdict. The group Protect Our Defenders called the Stockin case the largest sexual abuse scandal in recent history and called for a Congressional review. The 15 servicemen who filed the complaints were former patients of Dr. Stockin. They primarily saw him for pain management. The most recent filings were made on Thursday on behalf of three Army members and one with the Airforce. All four had been suffering chronic back pain.

“I do believe this directly led to exacerbating my drinking because I did not know how to cope with this trauma,” one of the men said. He spent a year drinking until he blacked out, and finally entered an outpatient rehabilitation program to get sober.
