Legal authorities have announced that a former physician has been charged with carrying out assaults against 38 individuals who were under his care.
Details of the Grave Charges
Nathaniel Spencer from Birmingham faces allegations of dozens of sexual offences – some of which involve some against minors under the age of thirteen – between 2017 and 2021.
A senior prosecutor commented, “Our prosecutors have diligently worked to support a thorough and intricate investigation, carefully reviewing the evidence to establish that there is sufficient evidence to proceed to trial and that it is in the interest of justice.”

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