Legal authorities have stated that a former doctor has been charged with committing sexual assaults involving 38 victims who were under his care.

The Grave Charges

Nathaniel Spencer from Birmingham is accused of dozens of sexual offences – comprising some against children younger than 13 – between 2017 and 2021.

A senior prosecutor stated, “Legal teams have worked at length to support a thorough and intricate police inquiry, meticulously examining the available evidence to establish that there is a strong case to bring the case to trial and that it is in the interest of justice.”

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