Maj. Michael Stockin has been suspended from seeing patients for more than a year, Army officials said.
Army officials said Wednesday that the service has brought sexual assault charges against a military doctor in what people familiar with the matter describe as a sprawling case involving at least 23 alleged victims.Maj. Michael Stockin, 37, is charged in what could be one of the military’s largest sexual abuse cases in years, service officials said.
“We look forward to being given full access to the evidence and we hope to conduct our own thorough investigation into these allegations free from unlawful command influence,” Capovilla said, referring to practice in which a commander seeks to sway the potential actions or outcomes in a case. Ryan Guilds, a lawyer representing multiple people who allege abuse by Stockin, said in a statement Wednesday that he is “deeply concerned” with a lack of communication from the Army “and what appear to be significant failures by hospital leadership to prevent these alleged assaults from taking place.”
