(WWJ) — New details are emerging in the case of an Oakland County doctor charged with sex crimes for secretly recording and sexually assaulting children and adults, as authorities on Friday announced more charges, this time involving a 5-year-old girl.
Dr. Oumair Aejaz has been arraigned on 17 additional felony charges in connection with a series of six sexual assaults on the young girl in 2023 and 2024. The Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office on Friday announced the charges, which include two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
He was also charged with three counts each of second-degree CSC, aggravated child sexually abusive activity and capturing images of an unclothed person, as well as six counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
Officials said the girl was 5 years old at the time of the alleged abuse and is now 6 years old.
Aejaz remains held without bond at the Oakland County Jail. A preliminary examination on Friday’s new charges is scheduled for Oct. 23.
In August Aejaz was charged with a litany of sex crimes involving children as young as 2 years old and adults. Aejaz formerly had doctor’s privileges at Ascension Genesys Hospital in Grand Blanc Township and Henry Ford Macomb in Clinton Township.
He was arraigned on Aug. 13 on 10 counts, including 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, and four counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
In addition to a vast collection of secret nude recordings, 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 Mike Bouchard is continuing to encourage anyone who believes they were a victim of Aejaz to contact sheriff’s detectives at OCSOSIU@oakgov.com.
Bouchard said back in August that some of the abuse took place at the Goldfish Swim Club in Rochester Hills, as well as in hospital rooms, changing areas and inside closets, bathrooms and bedrooms that he had access to.
Authorities confiscated six computers, four cell phones and 15 external storage devices during a search of Aejaz’s home. One device alone contained more than 13,000 videos that authorities say Aejaz recorded during the past six years. At the time, authorities estimated that it would take about six months to complete a forensic examination of all the confiscated materials.
“As I have said from the beginning, this was going to take a huge amount of work and a significant amount of time,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a press release Friday. “Having said that, we will leave no stone unturned to seek justice for every victim. Through this long and painstaking process we have been able to uncover this very large list of additional crimes that have not been charged and we continue to seek the public’s help to identify other potential victims.”
Aejaz is a citizen of India who has been working in the United States on a visa. He came to this country around 2011, completed his residency at Detroit Sinai Grace Hospital and then moved to Dawson, Ala. Aejaz returned to Oakland County to continue his practice in internal medicine in 2018.
