Multiple women have accused David Walliams, one of Britain’s best-known television personalities and top-selling children’s authors, of using his power and celebrity status to prey on young women and teenagers for sex. The accusations were published after a court rejected a legal attempt to stop publication.
Walliams denies any wrongdoing. The allegations include accounts from two women who said they first met him when they were 15 years old.
Court rejects bid to block published accusations
The court’s refusal cleared the way for the accusations to be made public. The report also includes an explainer on the key legal issues surrounding the case.
Support available for people affected by abuse
Support for anyone affected by sexual abuse is available in the UK through Rape Crisis, the National Association for People Abused in Childhood and Samaritans. Other international helplines are also available.
