British comedian and bestselling children’s author David Walliams has found himself at the center of controversy.
The Little Britain star, who spent a decade as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, is facing serious sexual misconduct allegations.
He has reportedly been accused of sexual assault and grooming involving “a large number of girls and young women,” some as young as 15.
Walliams previously sought legal protection to prevent two news organizations from revealing his identity.
David Walliams denies sexual misconduct allegations
Following the accusations, David Walliams tried to prevent news organizations from revealing his identity by taking the matter to court.
At the time, U.K. news organizations were warned against revealing any details that could identify Walliams while his legal challenge was under consideration.
However, after he failed to meet the appeal deadline on Monday, The Guardian and ITV News published their three-year joint investigation on Tuesday.
Titled David Walliams: Power and Silence, the news hit the top shelf, which accused the comedian of targeting teenage girls and young women.
After the allegations became public, Walliams denied them and asserted that he had never abused his position of fame or influence.
“Looking back, I realize that at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with,” he said.
Walliams continued, “I realize I did not always take people’s feelings properly into account. That is something I regret.”
“And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely and it is something that I never did,” he added.

The comedian concluded by saying, “I am not a sexual predator. I have not broken the law, but I am devastated that some of the women I met 10 to 20 years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me.”
Woman gives testimony of her alleged encounter with Walliams
Despite David Walliams denying the accusations against him, a woman named Alex came forward with her account of an alleged encounter with the actor.
In her account, she described her alleged encounter with Walliams at the age of 15 as a “sexual assault,” when she met him at a Little Britain fan event in 2004.
“Hi, it’s David Walliams,” she recalled how Walliams, who was 32 years old back then, introduced himself to her.
She then alleged that Walliams told her, “You’re a very attractive lady,” after she expressed her ambitions to become a comedy writer.
Alex further noted handing him printed copies of scripts she had written, along with her contact information.
Although she didn’t expect him to contact her, the woman claimed that the two remained in contact through phone calls and emails.
Eventually, after she turned 17, they began having physical relations. Meanwhile, “multiple women” have also alleged similar situations with Walliams.
They accused him of abusing “his power and position as a celebrity to prey on them for sexual purposes when they were teenagers or young women.”
