Doctor Charged with Placing Hidden Cameras in Hospitals, Swim Club
(OCSO, Aug. 20, 2024)
Rochester Hills, MI – A Rochester Hills doctor is being held on $2 million bond on multiple felony charges for recording nude images of unsuspecting children and women for at least the past six years.
Dr. Oumair Aejaz, 40, who specializes in internal medicine, is accused of using hidden cameras to record children as young as age 2 and women of various ages in hospital rooms, changing areas, as well as inside closets, bathrooms and bedrooms he could access, and at an area swim club.
He had privileges at Ascension Genesys Hospital in Grand Blanc Township and Henry Ford Macomb in Clinton Township but was not on staff.
Detectives believe Aejaz recorded sexual encounters he had with numerous women, with hospital patients who were either asleep or unconscious and recorded relatives in the bathroom or while changing clothes.
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard, who was joined by Oakland County Prosecutor Karen D. McDonald, announced the charges today during a news conference. “This is one of the most disturbing sexual predator cases I have seen in my very long career,” Bouchard said. “He violates literally anyone and everyone he can. From a 2-year-old boy to grown women, no one is immune from his disgusting predatory behavior. Violating children in safe spaces as they change for a fun swim or sexually violating women who are still under sedation from a medical procedure shows his depravity has no limits. At the end of this case, it is my fervent hope he is held fully accountable behind bars.”
McDonald said her office will use every resource available to purse the charges. “These are children and moms at a swim school,” McDonald said. “They’re there to teach their kids to swim. Because that brings their kids joy and because they want their kids to be safe around water. They were victimized by a person of trust in the community – a medical doctor. It’s more than an invasion of privacy. It robs these moms and kids, and all of us, of a sense of safety we should have when we’re with our kids at a place like that.”
Sheriff’s detectives received a tip about Aejaz on Aug. 7 and quickly began to assemble a case against him. He was arrested the following day at his home as detectives were executing a search warrant.
Bouchard said detectives confiscated six computers, four cell phones and 15 external storage devices from Aejaz’s home. One device contained more than 13,000 videos Aejaz recorded during the past six years. Detectives estimated it will take six months to complete a forensic examination of all the confiscated materials.
On Aug. 13, Aejaz was arraigned on Aug. 13 in 52-3 District Court in Rochester Hills. He is charged with 10 counts:
• One count of child sexually abusive activity.
• One count of using a computer to create and or reproduce child sexually abusive material.
• Two counts of capturing/recording children under the age of 18 while nude.
• Two counts of capturing/recording two women over the age of 18 while nude.
• Four counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
