- Abuse inquiry 'handled assault claim badly' - BBC Newsnight

- Description
- Jake Morris reports on the latest revelations into the inquiry into child sexual abuse. The heads of the inquiry have been criticised by MPs for a "wholly inadequate" response to an internal allegation of sexual assault. A woman on the inquiry team alleged she was groped in a lift at its offices.
Inquiry chair Prof Alexis Jay, the fourth person to lead the inquiry, apologised for any unnecessary anxiety caused to victims or survivors.
Newsnight has previously reported that the inquiry was told in September of a claim that Mr Emmerson had assaulted a woman working at its offices in a lift - a claim he has strenuously denied.
The alleged victim did not want the incident investigated.
