Child abuse victims launched a devastating attack on Theresa May and withdrew all support for her stalled probe into sex exploitation.

In a scathing letter, a group of 24 victims and professionals attacked the Home Secretary’s choice of panel members and a decision not to ­investigate cases before 1970.

They branded the investigation “not fit for purpose” and wrote: “The Home Office seems to be running the inquiry to meet others’ needs rather than those of survivors and the public.”

The probe, beset by disaster since it was announced in July, appears on the brink of collapse.
