A former UK physician is facing numerous charges related to alleged sexual misconduct with 38 patients under his care, including a child under 13 years old, authorities have announced. Nathaniel Spencer, 38, who practiced in central England, is accused of multiple serious sexual offenses committed while working as a doctor in the region. These offenses include assault by penetration and sexual assault involving a minor.
The allegations against Spencer, based in Birmingham, stem from an investigation by Staffordshire Police into incidents at two regional publicly operated hospitals in Stoke-on-Trent and Dudley, spanning from 2017 to 2021. Prosecutors highlighted their extensive efforts to support a detailed and complex investigation, carefully examining the evidence gathered. They determined there is enough evidence to proceed to trial, believing it serves the public interest to pursue criminal charges.
Spencer, who was a resident doctor—also known as a junior doctor in Britain—faces 15 counts of sexual assault, 17 counts of assault by penetration, and one count of attempted assault by penetration. Additional charges involve a dozen incidents involving a child under 13, including sexual assault and assault by penetration. Authorities have not disclosed the number of affected child victims.
He is scheduled to appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre on January 20 for his first court hearing.
