Doctor Charged With Sexual Assault After Staffordshire RASSO Inquiry

A court appearance is set for July 28 at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre following an investigation that began after a late‑2024 report.

Overview

  • Staffordshire Police confirmed on Friday that 30‑year‑old Dr Danial Moin Baloch has been charged with sexual assault after a probe by its rape and serious sexual offences team.
  • Police say Baloch was arrested in November 2024 after a woman reported an alleged sexual assault to the force.
  • Dr Baloch worked as a temporary doctor for University Hospitals of North Midlands until August 2024 and the allegation was made to police about two months after he stopped working there.
  • UHNM has confirmed his past temporary role and declined further comment because the matter is the subject of a criminal investigation.
  • Few factual details have been released and it has not been confirmed whether the complainant was a patient, with the next public step a court hearing on 28 July where further information may emerge.
