Jersey ex-police chief slams system

The former head of the Jersey child abuse investigation has slammed the island's legal system, claiming they delayed prosecutions and were held in "contempt" by victims.

Lenny Harper retired from his role as deputy chief officer of the States of Jersey Police this month after two years leading one of Britain's biggest child abuse inquiries.

The case centred on the former children's home Haut de la Garenne, where more than 100 people claim they were abused and the remains of five children were found.
