London Police Investigate Sexual Offence Allegations Against David WalliamsNext

London police are investigating multiple allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences involving British author and TV personality David Walliams, who has denied the claims. The police noted these allegations are separate from those reported by ITV News and The Guardian, but are reviewing those reports for evidence. Walliams, known for his children's books and TV work, has expressed devastation over the accusations. Producers of an upcoming film have removed his involvement amid the investigation. Authorities encourage victims to come forward regardless of when incidents occurred.
