A TRAINEE doctor has been accused of secretly filming hundreds of women in at least three hospitals.
Ryan Cho, 28, is likely to face around 500 charges relating to 4,500 videos he secretly recorded since 2021, police said.
The trainee surgeon was released on bail today after he was charged with secretly recording hundreds of medical colleagues in the toilets of Australian hospitals.
Police allege Cho recorded intimate images of at least 460 women – leading to charges relating to stalking, producing intimate images and installing an optical surveillance device.
He was arrested in July after a mobile phone was found recording from inside a mesh bag hanging in an Austin Hospital restroom.
Cho, who moved to Australia as a student in 2017, is also accused of recording in restrooms in the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center and the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
He was initially charged with six offences – but another 127 charges were added on Thursday, including intentionally recording intimate images without permission.
“It’s alleged a mobile phone was used as a recording device in staff toilets at all three hospitals named so far,” a police statement said.
“Police expect to identify further alleged victims; however, working through this process is expected to take some time.”
Cho was released by the judge to live with his parents – who have been required to pay 50,000 Australian dollars (£24,000).
