Ex- Doctor Accused of Sexual Assault Allegations Involving 38 Patients
Legal authorities have stated that a former doctor now faces charges for performing sexual assaults against 38 victims who were patients.
The Serious Allegations
Nathaniel Spencer from Birmingham has been charged with dozens of acts of sexual assault – some of which involve some against children younger than 13 – between 2017 to 2021.
A senior prosecutor said, “Our prosecutors have worked at length to support a detailed and complex police inquiry, meticulously examining the evidence to establish that there is a strong case to bring the case to trial and that it is in the interest of justice.”

Spencer is scheduled to appear at the North Staffordshire justice centre on 20 January.
