A 40-year-old doctor in the United States, Oumair Aejaz, has been charged with 10 counts of various sex crimes, including recording thousands of nude images and videos of children and women over the past six years.
Aejaz, a specialist in internal medicine, is being held on a $2 million bond.
During the investigation, police discovered over 13,000 videos on a single hard drive and seized 15 external devices. Aejaz moved to the U.S. from India in 2011 on a work visa, completed his residency at Sinai Grace Hospital in Michigan, and later moved to Dawson, Alabama. He returned to Oakland County, Michigan, in 2018 to continue practicing internal medicine.
Aejaz’s work history includes employment at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital and Ascension Genesys Hospital in Michigan. Most recently, he was contracted as a physician, working at various hospitals.
He was arrested on August 8 after allegedly placing hidden cameras in bathrooms, changing areas, hospital rooms, and even in his own home. These cameras reportedly captured disturbing footage of children as young as two years old, as well as women who were unconscious or asleep, all in various states of undress.
Authorities also suspect that Aejaz may have uploaded some of the illicit videos to cloud storage. The case came to light when Aejaz’s wife provided law enforcement with concerning materials, leading the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office to execute multiple search warrants at his home.
Aejaz has been formally charged with one count of child sexually abusive activity, four counts of capturing images of unclothed persons, and five counts of using a computer to commit a crime. Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard noted that the scale of Aejaz’s offenses is so extensive that it could take months to fully investigate the extent of his crimes.
