Lawsuits filed against Rochester Hills doctor for alleged sexual assaults

In Novi, Michigan, new lawsuits have emerged against Dr. Oumair Aejaz, a Rochester Hills physician accused of sexually assaulting numerous patients, including minors. The allegations include secretly recording patients during medical examinations and performing sexual acts on them while they were unconscious. Authorities have described the case as potentially one of the worst instances of sexual predation they have encountered. The Oakland County Sheriff, Michael Bouchard, highlighted the disturbing nature of the evidence collected against Aejaz, which includes possession of child pornography and the use of hidden cameras in various locations. The lawsuits, filed against Aejaz and the hospitals where he practiced, specifically target Detroit Medical Center Sinai Grace Hospital and Henry Ford Macomb Hospital. The plaintiffs, two women, allege that they were recorded without their consent during medical visits. One woman sought treatment for back pain, while the other attended a routine pregnancy checkup. Both cases illustrate a significant breach of trust and safety in medical settings. The legal actions claim that the hospitals failed to supervise Aejaz adequately, allowing him to exploit his position and access to patients over several years. Investigators have seized multiple devices from Aejaz, uncovering nearly 13,000 videos, which will take months to analyze. This extensive evidence raises serious concerns about patient safety and the responsibilities of medical institutions in protecting their patients. As the investigation continues, the implications of these lawsuits could lead to broader discussions about accountability in healthcare settings and the need for stricter oversight of medical professionals to prevent such egregious violations of patient trust and safety.
