A DOCTOR is due to appear in court accused of sexually assaulting five women at a surgery in the Dudley area.

Dr Amirul Haque, of Ladypool Road, Balsall Heath, has been charged and bailed to appear at Walsall Magistrates Court on Wednesday March 1.

The charges relate to five counts of sexual assault committed against separate patients when the 32-year-old was on placement at a surgery in the Dudley area.

West Midlands Police is not at this stage releasing details of the surgery but a spokesman stressed specialist officers are supporting the victims and anyone else with information is urged to call the force non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
