Met Police Launch Investigation Into David Walliams Over Serious Sexual Offences

The Metropolitan Police have confirmed they are investigating David Walliams for alleged "non-recent serious sexual offences." These allegations are reportedly separate from those detailed in a recent investigation by The Guardian and ITV News, which accused the comedian and children's author of abusing his celebrity status to prey on young women and teenagers.

Walliams has vehemently denied all allegations. The unfolding controversy has already led to significant repercussions, including broadcasters like Channel 4 and Sky removing his content, distributors cutting his cameo from an upcoming film, and his agency severing ties with him. Schools and libraries are also reportedly weighing decisions on whether to continue stocking his books.
