Met Police Investigates Sexual Offence Allegations Against Walliams

The Metropolitan Police has opened an investigation into allegations of serious sexual offences involving David Walliams, including allegations separate from those reported by The Guardian and ITV News, which detectives are also reviewing. The reports include claims that Walliams pursued or groomed women when they were teenagers and that he sexually touched a girl when she was 15 in 2007. Walliams denies sexual contact with the woman identified as Jade and rejects allegations of grooming, sexual assault and other criminal or sexual misconduct; the claims have not been established in court. The Guardian and ITV News published the allegations after a High Court judge rejected Walliams’s attempt to block their reporting, a ruling that did not address whether the claims were true. The allegations have led to professional fallout, including HarperCollins ending its relationship with Walliams, his departure from Britain’s Got Talent and a BBC review of material featuring or written by him.
