Today we announce the filing of a class action lawsuit against Dr. Oumair Aejaz, Henry Ford Health System, and Henry Ford Macomb Hospital, where we allege that Dr. Aejaz engaged in widespread sexual abuse and privacy violations against patients, including minors, over at least six years. Additionally, a second lawsuit has been filed against Detroit Medical Center.
According to the complaint, Dr. Aejaz, a 40-year-old physician from Rochester Hills, allegedly placed hidden cameras in changing rooms and medical facilities, recording patients as young as 2 years old. The lawsuit further alleges that Henry Ford Health System failed to implement appropriate safeguards to protect patients from this predatory behavior.
The class action lawsuit represents a Jane Doe who received emergency back surgery at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in May 2023. Law enforcement officials have described the ongoing criminal investigation into Dr. Aejaz as “one of the most disturbing sexual predator cases” seen in their careers, potentially surpassing the scale of the Larry Nassar case.
Dr. Aejaz has been charged with multiple felonies, including child sexually abusive activity and capturing images of unclothed persons. Authorities have seized over 13,000 videos from the perpetrator and expect the investigation to continue for at least six months.
The Bailey Glasser team in this important case is led by founding partner Brian Glasser, and partners David Selby II, John Barrett, and Todd Mathews.
A press conference providing further details on the lawsuit will be held today, Tuesday, September 24, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. ET at the Sheraton Detroit Novi Hotel (conference room on the first floor), located at 21111 Haggerty Road, Novi, MI 48375.
