DPP: Naming of child sex abuse suspects up for debate
The Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, has spoken about the debate over whether people accused of child sex abuse should be named.
Mr Starmer told ITV News' UK Editor Lucy Manning:

"On the other hand it has to be recognised that in many cases further victims come forward because they know who the individual is".
