Doctor allegedly filmed women and children with hidden camera for years

OAKLAND COUNTY, Michigan (WILX/Gray News) – A doctor in Michigan is accused of filming unsuspecting women and children for at least six years.

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office said Dr. Oumair Aejaz used hidden cameras to film children as young as two and women of various ages in places such as hospital rooms, locker rooms, restrooms and bathrooms.

Investigators also believe he recorded sexual encounters with numerous sleeping or unconscious women and hospital patients.

Aejaz, who specializes in internal medicine, had privileges at Ascension Genesys Hospital in Grand Blanc Township and Henry Ford Macomb in Clinton Township but was not on staff.

“This is one of the most disturbing cases of sexual assault I have seen in my long career,” said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard. “He abused literally anyone he could. From a two-year-old boy to a grown woman, no one was immune to his disgusting, predatory behavior.”

Investigators said they took six computers, four cellphones and 15 external storage devices from Aejaz's home. The sheriff's office said one device contained more than 13,000 videos recorded by Aejaz.

In addition, some of the recorded videos came from a local swimming club.

“Abusing children in secure spaces while they are changing for a fun bath or sexually abusing women who are still under sedation after a medical procedure shows that his depravity knows no bounds,” Bouchard said.

Oakland County District Attorney Karen McDonald said this was more than an invasion of privacy.

“These are children and mothers in a swim school. They were bullied by a trusted person in the community – a doctor,” McDonald said. “It robs these mothers and children, and all of us, of the sense of safety we should have when we are in a place like this with our children.”

According to investigators, it could take six months to complete the forensic examination of all seized materials.

Aejaz is an Indian citizen working in the US on a visa. He came to America in 2011, completed his residency at Detroit Sinai Grace Hospital and then moved to Dawson, Alabama.

The doctor returned to Oakland County in 2018 to continue his practice as an internist.
