The charges are linked to assaults that reportedly happened in 2023 and 2024 in Novi.
Prosecutors said Aejaz reportedly recorded himself sexually assaulting the 6-year-old multiple times.
Aejaz is accused of sexually assaulting people and placing hidden cameras in changing rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms, closets, hospital rooms and more.
The investigation into Aejaz began when his wife tipped off authorities on Aug. 7. A search warrant recovered six computers, four cell phones and 15 hard drives. One hard drive reportedly contained over 13,000 videos Aejaz recorded over the last six years.

The known victims so far range from 2 years old to grown adults.
At a press conference in August, both the Oakland County sheriff and Prosecutor Karen McDonald said it was one of the worst cases they’ve ever worked on. Sheriff Mike Bouchard said he can’t estimate how many victims there are “because there are so many of them.”
The new charges issued Thursday, Oct. 10 include two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, three counts of aggravated child sexually abusive activity, three counts of capturing image of unclothed person and six counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
He now faces at least 27 charges and remains lodged at the Oakland County Jail.
If convicted, Aejaz faces the possibility of spending life in jail.
