Will Panorama attack the credibility of victims of abuse?



Read Peter’s blog in which he comments on the Panorama Programme entitled “The VIP Paedophile Ring; What’s the Truth?” which will be aired on the 6th October 2015.  He outlines his concerns that the media may be mixing up concepts of corroboration with the collapsing of police inquiries due the allegations being untrue and the inevitable impact this will have on victims of abuse that have not yet come forward.  Visit http://www.abuselaw.co.uk/news/abuse-news/will-panorama-attack-the-credibility-of-victims-of-abuse/
