The recent case of Dr. Oumair Aejaz, a Michigan doctor charged with multiple sex crimes, has brought to light the devastating impact of sexual abuse on survivors. Allegations against Aejaz include secretly recording patients, including children as young as two years old, in various stages of undress in settings ranging from hospitals to his own home. These actions have not only violated the trust placed in him as a healthcare provider but also inflicted profound physical, emotional, and psychological harm on those affected.
If Aejaz has violated you or someone you know, it’s important to understand that you have legal options available to seek justice and hold him accountable. A Michigan sexual abuse lawyer from Top Dog Law’s network of experienced local attorneys can help you navigate this difficult journey, ensuring your rights are protected and your voice is heard.
Some types of compensation that may be available include:
The statute of limitations is the legal timeframe within which a survivor of sexual assault can file a civil lawsuit against the perpetrator seeking financial compensation for the damages caused by the assault. This timeframe varies by state.
In Michigan, survivors of sexual assault typically have 10 years from the date of the assault to file a civil lawsuit. However, there are exceptions. If the survivor was a minor at the time of the assault, they may have until their 28th birthday to file. Additionally, in certain cases, the discovery rule may apply, allowing survivors to file within three years of discovering the connection between the assault and their injuries, even if the initial statute of limitations has passed.
Given these complexities, it’s crucial for those violated by Aejaz’s disturbing actions to consult a Michigan sexual assault lawyer as soon as possible to understand the specific deadlines that apply to their case. If you’re unsure about the statute of limitations in your situation, connecting with a local lawyer can provide clarity and guide you in making informed decisions about your legal options.
Dr. Oumair Aejaz, a 40-year-old internist with privileges at multiple Michigan hospitals, was arrested after an investigation revealed a disturbing pattern of sexual abuse and exploitation spanning several years and potentially multiple states.
The case came to light when Aejaz’s wife provided incriminating materials to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, leading to a search of his home where authorities seized numerous devices containing “jarring” and “alarming” images and videos.
Aejaz is accused of secretly recording individuals, including children as young as two years old, in various settings such as bathrooms, changing rooms, and hospital rooms. He also allegedly recorded sexual encounters with patients who were unconscious or asleep.
The ongoing investigation uncovered over 13,000 videos on a single hard drive. Police say the full scope of Aejaz’s criminal activities may take months to uncover.
If you were a patient of Oumair Aejaz or believe he may have violated you, it is crucial to take steps to protect your rights and seek justice. Sexual abuse, especially when committed by a trusted healthcare provider, can have a long-lasting impact on every aspect of your life. You deserve to be heard, and those responsible must be held accountable.
