A solicitor who is representing people who were allegedly sexually abused by Greville Janner said they would feel “betrayed” after the chairman of an independent investigation into their allegations stood down.
Peter Garsden spoke after the Dame Lowell Goddard announced last night she was stepping down as chairman of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, (IICSA), which is to hear testimonies from up to 30 people who say the Labour politician sexually abused them.
However, she gave no reason for her decision. A national newspaper had earlier reported she had spent a lot of time out of the country during her first year in the post.
