Alleged victims 'delighted' Janner faces abuse prosecution

Lord Janner will be prosecuted over claims of historical child sexual abuse after a review overturned a decision by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

Liz Dux, a solicitor for some of the alleged victims, told the Victoria Derbyshire programme they were "absolutely delighted" by the news.

Prosecutors announced in April that the 86-year-old peer would not be charged because of his severe form of dementia.

An independent QC has now recommended that the decision should be overruled.
