An Indian doctor in US was arrested by police and held in jail on a $2 million bond after being charged with multiple sex crimes for allegedly recording hundreds of nude images and videos of children and women over several years.
The 40-year-old Oumair Aejaz had allegedly hidden cameras inside bathrooms, changing areas, hospital rooms, and even his own home.
He was arrested on August 8 after his wife produced the explicit videos before the authorities.
Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said Tuesday that Aejaz had also recorded himself performing sexual acts on women who were unconscious or asleep. He said the magnitude of the crime is not known yet, and it could take months to fully investigate the matter.
Following his arrest, several search warrants have been issued, related to the doctor’s computers, phones, and 15 external devices. The Sheriff said they had found a single hard drive that had over 13,000 videos on it.
Police believe Aejaz may also have uploaded videos into cloud storage as well.
"The victimisation is so broad and the perversion so great, we're just beginning to wrap our arms around it," said Bouchard.
Aejaz was formally indicted on August 13 with one count of child sexually abusive activity, four counts of capturing an image of an unclothed person, and five counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
Prosecutors said the police have been "sifting through really jarring, alarming images" over the past few days.
The primary case against the doctor revolves around a 2023 incident, involving Aejaz allegedly recording a mother and her kids inside a changing room at the Goldfish Swimming Club.
He reportedly came to the US from India in 2011 on a work visa. He started working in Michigan only after 2018.
