Child sex abuse victims have condemned as "insulting" the decision to consult paedophiles as part of the Government’s ?100 million national inquiry.

Professor Alexis Jay, the inquiry’s chairman, yesterday unveiled her long-awaited review following a series of crises that have dogged the abuse investigation, admitting its progress had been “too slow”.

But campaigners have accused Prof Jay of watering down victims’ public evidence sessions while adding an extra research project that will conduct interviews with convicted paedophiles.
