The Metropolitan Police have now confirmed they have now launched an investigation into TV star David Walliams
The Metropolitan Police has launched an investigation after the force received “a number of allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences” against David Walliams.
Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney, whose team is leading the investigation, said: “We would encourage anyone who has been the victim of a sexual offence to come forward and speak to us, no matter when it happened.
“We know reporting allegations of this nature can be daunting, but specialist officers are on hand to provide support, answer questions and guide you through the process.”
The Met said that it had received a number of allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences involving a man now in his 50s and added that those who have come forward are being supported by specialist officers.
The allegations are separate from those reported by ITN and The Guardian. However, as part of their investigation, detectives are also proactively reviewing that reporting to establish whether there is any evidence of offences.
