Australian Surgeon Faces Charges for Filming Women
A trainee surgeon named Ryan Cho is in trouble for allegedly filming hundreds of videos of women secretly in hospital bathrooms.
A phone was discovered recording videos inside a mesh bag.
These recordings were reportedly taken in three Melbourne hospitals since 2021.
Cho is expected to be charged with about 500 offenses.
The judge has allowed him to be released on bail with conditions, including living with his parents and them paying a surety.
Prosecutors believed he might not show up for court, but the judge found he wasn't a flight risk.
Trainee surgeon Ryan Cho is accused of secretly filming over 4,500 videos in hospital restrooms.
Cho was arrested in July after a phone was found recording in a restroom at Austin Hospital.
The videos were allegedly captured in staff restrooms at three Melbourne hospitals since 2021.
Cho is expected to face around 500 charges, including intentionally recording intimate images without consent.
Cho was granted bail by Justice James Elliott on the condition he live with his parents and they post a surety.
