Prosecutors have stated that a former doctor now faces charges for committing assaults against thirty-eight victims who were patients.
The Grave Charges
Nathaniel Spencer from Birmingham is accused of numerous acts of sexual assault – comprising some against children younger than 13 – between 2017 to 2021.
A senior prosecutor stated, “Legal teams have worked at length to assist a detailed and complex investigation, meticulously examining the evidence to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial and that it is in the public interest.”

The defendant is due to appear at the local magistrates' court on 20 January.
