A physician in Michigan has been arrested on charges relating to filming young children and grown adults in changing rooms at a Rochester swim school, Oakland County authorities announced Tuesday, adding they expect to identify more victims after they
say thousands of other videos and images were found on the doctor’s devices, including footage of him assaulting a patient at a hospital.

Dr. Oumair Aejaz has been charged 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, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said at a Tuesday
news conference.

“This individual potentially is one of the worst I’ve ever seen,” the sheriff said. “Because there’s no particular category. It’s not just children, it’s not just women, it’s not just men. It goes from a 2-year-old to a grown woman. The
victimization is so broad, and the perversion so great, that we’re just beginning to wrap our arms around it.”

The charges primarily stem from an incident that happened at a Goldfish Swim School in August 2023, video of which was found on hard drives confiscated from Aejaz earlier this month, authorities said.

“The current charges that we’ve issued from the events that we’ve identified have occurred in Oakland County thus far involve four separate victims,” Oakland County Prosecutor Karen D. McDonald said at the news conference. “The currently
charged cases stem from the swim school and it is (involving) a 2-year-old, a 4-year-old and two adult females.”

McDonald later noted the child sexually abusive activity charge is related to material found on Aejaz’s device, not the incident at the swim school.

Beyond the current criminal charges, the sheriff’s office alleged in a news release that Aejaz, 40, used “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,” for at least the past six years.

Detectives believe Aejaz also recorded sexual encounters he had with numerous hospital patients who were “either asleep or unconscious and recorded relatives in the bathroom or while changing clothes,” the release said.

CNN has reached out to Aejaz’s attorney for comment.

Earlier this month, Aejaz’s wife gave the sheriff’s office information and materials “that were concerning,” McDonald said. Oakland County court records show Aejaz’s wife filed a restraining order against her husband and requested sole custody
of their home and children after filing for divorce in June.

Authorities immediately executed search warrants and confiscated six computers, four cell phones and 15 external storage devices – one of which held 13,000 videos, the sheriff said. Aejaz was arrested by detectives during the execution of the search
warrant of his home on August 8, one day after Aejaz’s wife had submitted the tip.

According to the sheriff, some of the footage captured by Aejaz came from inside his own home, which he shared with his wife and two young sons.

Aejaz was arraigned on August 13 in Rochester Hills District Court and is currently being held in Oakland County Jail on a $2 million bond, according to Bouchard. A citizen of India, Aejaz had been working in the United States on a visa, the sheriff said.
His next hearing is scheduled for August 26.
