Police investigating David Walliams over alleged serious sexual offences

Police say multiple women accused the comedian of grooming and sexual assault, including claims involving underage girls and fan events.

  • On Friday, police launched a criminal investigation into 'a number of allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences' against David Walliams, the entertainer accused of using his fame to groom and sexually assault young women.
  • Multiple accusers, including Jade, Alex, Sarah, and Abby Tomlinson, have alleged Walliams committed sexual misconduct involving grooming and assault, with Tomlinson describing being alone in his dressing room with girls aged 13, 16 and 17.
  • Denying the claims, Lawyers for Walliams stated he was 'mortified to learn' that a relationship with one accuser caused her sadness. Walliams declared: 'I am not a sexual predator.'
  • Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney, leading the investigation, appealed for other potential victims to come forward, stating: 'We would encourage anyone who has been the victim of a sexual offence to come forward and speak to us.'
  • Since being sectioned under the Mental Health Act on October 22, Walliams remains in a psychiatric hospital, the High Court was told, raising questions about the investigation's immediate progression.
