Ex-UK Jewish leader won’t face sex abuse trial this year
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA British judge rules that the former head of the Board of Deputies of British Jews will not face a “trial of the facts” in child sex abuse allegations until next year, the Guardian reports.
The 87-year-old Greville Janner, a former Labour peer, is accused of a total of 22 counts of indecent assault and sexual offenses against nine alleged victims over three decades.
Janner, who has Alzheimer’s disease, is not facing a full trial over the allegations due to his medical condition, which the Crown Prosecution Service says do meet the criteria for prosecution.
