Junior Doctor Allegedly Spied on 400 Victims in Toilets at Three Major Melbourne Hospitals

MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, JUL 25 – Ryan Cho faces multiple charges including producing intimate images after allegedly spying on about 400 staff at major Melbourne hospitals over five years, police said.

  • Ryan Cho, a 27-year-old trainee surgeon, was arrested in July 2025 after police found a camera recording in a restricted staff toilet at Austin Hospital in Melbourne.
  • Cho's arrest followed an internal investigation triggered by discovering a mobile phone recording in hospital toilets, with police uncovering over 10,000 intimate images and videos dating from 2021 to 2025.
  • Between 2020 and 2025, Cho was employed at several hospitals in Melbourne, such as Royal Melbourne Hospital, and faces charges related to stalking, creating intimate images, and employing a hidden camera.
  • Police report 10,374 files of intimate recordings, naming at least 460 victims, with Magistrate Henderson refusing bail over community risk concerns and Cho’s ongoing court appearances scheduled through November 2025.
  • Austin and Royal Melbourne hospitals emphasize staff safety, offer support services, and cooperate with police while investigators expand the probe to additional hospitals and potentially affected individuals.
