ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. – The Oakland County sheriff referenced Larry Nassar to demonstrate the possible massive impact of a doctor who secretly filmed hundreds of unsuspecting people.

Officials believe Dr. Oumair Aejaz, 40, of Rochester Hills, used hidden cameras to film everyone from a 2-year-old to adults in various states of undress.

He did this at hospitals, at a swim school in Rochester, and even at private homes, including his own, according to Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.

“This individual potentially is one of the worst I’ve ever seen, because (the victims fall into) no particular category,” Bouchard said. “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, and so the victimization is so broad, and the perversion so great, that we’re just beginning to wrap our arms around it.”

Bouchard said in his decades of work in law enforcement and as a senator, this is one of the worst cases he’s experienced.

He didn’t call this case worse than the Nassar case, but he did say there are more potential victims, since Aejaz didn’t seem to have any limitations in terms of who he would target.

“We’re working to get our arms around how big this is,” Bouchard said. “But when you think about the incredible perversion and destructive activity of Nassar, he had a much smaller group of victims, in terms of potential. There’s no limit to the perversion of this individual.”

Police are currently combing through the enormous amount of digital evidence collected from Aejaz, including six computers, four cellphones, and 15 external hard drives.

One of those hard drives contained 13,000 videos. Bouchard said it might take six months to get through everything.

“It’s disturbing on so many levels that it’s hard to look at the videos of that activity, where a woman is basically unconscious in a hospital bed and he’s violating her -- to a 2-year-old thinking they’re out for a great swim day, and they’re being captured naked,” Bouchard said. “There’s nobody that’s out of bounds for this sick, sick activity.”
