Public ‘needs to know’ why Lord Janner can’t stand trial for sex abuse, court hears

‘Former Labour peer Lord Janner will be found “unfit” to stand trial for a string of alleged child sex offences due to advanced dementia, a court has heard.

The 87-year-old has been accused of 22 offences, dating back to the 1960s, involving nine alleged victims, a majority whom were aged 16 and under at the time.

Janner, who allegedly “raped and tortured” children at a luxury Westminster flat, was excused from the Old Bailey on Friday after being found “unfit” to enter pleas or stand trial because he has Alzheimer’s disease.

Addressing Justice Openshaw, Eleanor Laws QC said: “Both parties agree the defendant is unfit to plea and unfit to stand trial. There is no merit in putting off the determination.”’
