Disgraced Rochester Hills doctor to spend up to 60 years behind bars for sex crimes
Dr. Oumair Aejaz was sentenced to 35-60 years for sexually assaulting patients, while a $140 million settlement was reached with Henry Ford Hospital.Summary
Dr. Oumair Aejaz, 40, was sentenced to 35 to 60 years in prison after pleading no contest to multiple counts of sexually molesting patients and videotaping the assaults. His wife initially discovered the videotapes and reported him to the police. While a $140 million class action settlement has been reached with Henry Ford Hospital for the survivors, attorney Jim Harrington, representing four survivors, intends to pursue separate legal action against the hospital, believing the settlement is insufficient. Harrington stated, “Paper doesn’t refuse ink,” implying that promises of payment may not materialize given Aejaz’s life sentence. He also anticipates further charges and the discovery of more survivors, with over 8,200 already involved in the class action lawsuit. The case involves both criminal sentencing and ongoing civil litigation.
