Former Doctor Accused of Sexual Assault Charges Involving 38 Individuals in His Care

Prosecutors have stated that a former physician has been charged with performing assaults involving thirty-eight individuals who were patients.

The Serious Allegations

Nathaniel Spencer from Birmingham has been charged with numerous sexual offences – including acts against children younger than 13 – between 2017 and 2021.

A senior prosecutor stated, “Legal teams have worked at length to assist a detailed and complex police inquiry, carefully reviewing the evidence to establish that there is a strong case to bring the case to trial and that it is in the public interest.”

The Police Inquiry

These allegations follow what police called a “detailed inquiry” into alleged assaults at medical facilities: a hospital in Stoke-on-Trent and a facility in Dudley.

The defendant is due to appear at the North Staffordshire justice centre on January 20th.

List of Offences

The charging documents said the forty-five charges comprise:

  • Fifteen counts of assault.
  • Seventeen counts of assault by penetration.
  • Nine counts of sexual assault of a child under 13.
  • 3 counts of assault of a child under 13 by penetration.
  • 1 count of attempting to assault by penetration.

Police are urging individuals with information to get in touch with the investigating team.
