David Walliams Faces London Police Investigation Into Alleged Sexual Offences

London’s Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation into allegations of serious sexual offences involving children’s author and comedian David Walliams, the force said on Friday, November 13.

Police said several people had recently reported alleged offences dating back years. Specialist officers are supporting those who have come forward.

Walliams has denied wrongdoing.

Police Examine Separate Allegations

The allegations under investigation are separate from those published in a joint investigation by ITV News and The Guardian. Detectives are also reviewing that reporting for evidence of possible offences.

Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney, whose team is leading the inquiry, encouraged anyone who had experienced a sexual offence to contact police, regardless of when it happened.
