Victims’ families slam CPS refusal to charge Janner
VICTIM support groups and Leicestershire Police condemned a contentious decision by prosecutors not to charge a veteran Labour peer with sexual abuse crimes yesterday.
Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said it was not in the public interest to proceed with a case against Lord Greville Janner QC.
Lord Janner, who served as an MP for 27 years in Leicester before being made a peer, is now 86 and reportedly suffering from dementia.
