Lord Lester accuser felt 're-victimised'

The woman who has accused Lord Lester of sexual harassment says she felt felt "re-victimised" when watching a debate in the House of Lords on whether to suspend him.

Lord Lester was accused of groping a woman and offering her a peerage 12 years ago, in return for sleeping with him.

An inquiry recommended a three-and-a-half year suspension but the House of Lords voted against his immediate suspension. He denies the allegations.
