At his home in north London, Daniel Janner sits in front of a bulging file filled to the brim with information about the sex abuse allegations against his father, the late Lord Janner. 

The case has been tough for Mr Janner and his family, and he admits he “can’t let it go”. 

To date, 33 separate allegations of historical child sexual abuse have been made against the peer, who died in December 2015 after suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse (IICSA) is investigating the claims. 

The Janner family — Daniel and his sisters, Laura Janner-Klausner, Senior Rabbi of the Reform Movement, and Marion Janner, a mental health campaigner — insist their father was “entirely innocent of any wrongdoing”.
