London - A woman who was allegedly sexually assaulted at the
headquarters of a child abuse inquiry by its top lawyer has been left
distraught by the scandal, her father says.
Ben Emmerson, QC, lead counsel to Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), is facing an investigation by his own law firm into claims that he groped the woman at the inquiry's office. His lawyers say he ‘categorically denies’ the claim.
