A former doctor has been charged with a series of alleged s£xual ass@ults involving 38 patients under his care.
Nathaniel Spencer, 38, from Quinton, Birmingham, faces multiple charges relating to incidents said to have occurred between 2017 and 2021. He is accused of targeting both adult and child patients following an investigation by Staffordshire Police.
The allegations relate to his time working at Royal Stoke University Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent and Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley.
Spencer is charged with nine counts of s£xual ass@ult on a child under 13, three counts of assault on a child under 13 by penetration, and one count of attempted assault by penetration.
He was formally charged today and is due to appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre on 20 January 2026.
Ben Samples, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for the West Midlands CPS Complex Casework Unit, said:
“We have decided to prosecute Nathaniel Spencer for a number of serious offences allegedly carried out against patients while he was working as a doctor. Our prosecutors have supported a detailed and complex investigation by Staffordshire Police, carefully reviewing the evidence to determine that this case should go to trial and that pursuing criminal proceedings is in the public interest.”
