JBLM doctor found guilty of sexual assault, hears from victims in court

[KOMOnews] An Army Veteran sat in a small Joint Base Lewis McChord
… home to I Corps and 62nd Airlift Wing near Tacoma, Washington. It’s one of 12 joint bases created by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission, combining Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base…
courtroom, voice wavering, to talk for the first time on the record about how he was sexually assaulted by his doctor.

The ranking officer, who served in Operation Enduring Freedom, told the court how he was seeking relief from back pain from Army Doctor Michael Stockin back in 2022. But instead, he said, the anesthesiologist at Madigan Army Medical Center directed him to “drop trou” and touched his genitals multiple times without gloves.

Stockin has admitted to the crime and 35 other assaults of soldiers that were done “with the intent to arouse and gratify the sexual desire” of the doctor under the guise of a medical purpose. It is believed to be the largest case of its kind in recent Army history.

On Friday, Jan. 10, Judge Col. Larry Babin formally accepted the terms of a plea deal, that called for Stockin to be discharged, stripped of any military benefits, and face a minimum of close to 10 years in prison. In exchange, Stockin pleaded guilty to 41 counts, or what are called “specifications” under military law, including 36 counts of abusive sexual contact and 5 counts of indecent viewing. Military prosecutors dropped another 11 counts during the proceedings.

The judge asked Stockin directly “Are you doing this because you are convinced you are guilty?”

Stockin replied, “Yes, your honor.”

#1  Seems unlikely that an assaulted would have developed a discipline of just fondling marble bags for his jollies. They will find more if they look to jug this guy and his helper for more years than 10.
