Overview
- The Victorian Supreme Court granted Ryan Cho bail under strict conditions that include living with his parents, a curfew, surrendering his passport, reporting to police three times a week, and bans on recording devices and hospital visits except in emergencies.
- Victoria Police added 127 counts for alleged stalking, producing intimate images and installing optical surveillance devices linked to the Austin Hospital, the Royal Melbourne Hospital and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
- Investigators say seized devices contain more than 10,000 files including about 4,500 intimate videos, with folders naming facilities and victims and a planning document cited as evidence of methodical conduct.
- Police and prosecutors say at least 460 people were recorded and anticipate the number of charges will rise toward about 500 as more witnesses are identified and statements are taken.
- Cho, 28, a Singaporean national and Monash University graduate suspended by AHPRA, has not entered pleas and is due back in court in November, with prosecutors indicating a potential County Court trial in the second half of 2026.
