Military doctor pleads guilty to dozens of sexual abuse charges

A military doctor has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing dozens of soldiers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord who had primarily sought his care for pain management. Maj. Michael Stockin was an anesthesiologist and pain management specialist at the base’s Madigan Army Medical Center. He pleaded guilty Tuesday to 36 specifications, or counts, of abusive sexual contact and five of indecent viewing, McCaskill said. His pleas are subject to the military judge’s approval. Stockin’s lawyer, Robert Capovilla, did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment Wednesday. Lawyers representing 22 of Stockin’s former patients have filed complaints against the Army each seeking $5 million in damages for the emotional distress they say they have suffered.
