Alleged victims’ lawyers accuse police, CPS and social services of ‘perfect storm of failure’
Greville Janner enjoyed “the halo effect” of being a prominent politician, which meant he was in effect protected for years from being prosecuted over allegations he abused vulnerable children, an inquiry has heard.
Lawyers for the alleged victims of the Labour peer told the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (IICSA) that there was a “culture of deference” towards Janner.
