A 40-year-old Indian doctor in the US has been charged with 10 counts of multiple sex crimes, including recording thousands of nude images and videos of children and women over the past six years.

The doctor, Oumair Aejaz, who specializes in internal medicine, has been held on a $2 million bond.

Police discovered over 13,000 videos on a single hard drive and seized 15 external devices during their investigation. Aejaz moved to the US from India in 2011 on a work visa and completed his residency at Sinai Grace Hospital in Michigan. He then moved to Dawson, Alabama, before returning to Oakland County in Michigan to continue practicing internal medicine in 2018.

Aejaz’s work history includes employment at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital and Ascension Genesys Hospital in Michigan. He was most recently contracted as a physician, working at various hospitals.

Aejaz 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 and women who were either unconscious or asleep, all in varying states of undress.

Authorities also believe 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, prompting the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office to execute several search warrants at his home.

Aejaz was 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 stated that the magnitude of Aejaz’s offences is so vast that it could take months to fully investigate the extent of his crimes.
