Report says there was 'sufficient evidence' to prosecute Lord Janner
An independent inquiry has found that 'mistakes were made' by prosecutors and police investigating the sex abuse allegations of Lord Janner.
Report published into Lord Janner case says decision was wrong
A report out todays published by the CPS says that the decision not to charge Lord Janner in 1991 was wrong and there was enough evidence against him to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for offences of indecent assault and buggery.
In addition, the police investigation was inadequate and no charging decision should have been taken by the CPS until the police had undertaken further enquiries.
