Oakland County, MI – Dr. Oumair Aejaz, a physician, has been sentenced to 35 to 60 years in prison after pleading no contest to 31 counts of sexual misconduct. The disturbing case involved charges of first and second-degree criminal sexual conduct, as well as child sexually abusive commercial activity, all stemming from horrific allegations of secretly recording and assaulting former patients and others.
Evidence presented in court revealed an alarming archive of over 13,000 videos, depicting the extent of Aejaz’s actions. Victims, deeply affected by his misconduct, described him as “sadistic” and “narcissistic,” painting a chilling picture of a man who exploited his position for personal gratification.
During the sentencing, the judge expressed profound disgust at Aejaz’s behavior, stating that it was “beyond words.” The victims were given a platform to voice their pain and suffering, contributing to the weight of the evidence that led to the long prison sentence. Many expressed relief, noting that justice has been served, but also cited the lasting trauma that Aejaz inflicted upon them.
This case serves as a grim reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by patients and the need for vigilance in healthcare environments. The community is rallying around the victims, with advocates calling for more stringent regulations to prevent such abuses in the future.
As Dr. Aejaz begins his lengthy sentence, the scars of his actions will persist in the lives of those he victimized. His case underscores the imperative of accountability and the ongoing need for support for victims of sexual misconduct.
