The accused, Nathaniel Spencer from Birmingham has been charged with numerous sexual offences – some of which involve acts against children younger than 13 – between 2017 to 2021.

One senior CPS official commented, “Our prosecutors have diligently worked to support a detailed and complex investigation, carefully reviewing the evidence to determine that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial and that it is in the interest of justice.”

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