Metropolitan Police Investigate David Walliams Over Sexual Offence Allegations

The Metropolitan Police have launched a criminal investigation into David Walliams over allegations of serious sexual offences. Walliams, known as a comedian and former judge on "Britain’s Got Talent," was accused of sexually abusing a teenage girl.

The inquiry follows separate reporting by ITN and The Guardian, which revealed that multiple women have accused the television star of preying on young women for sex. The Metropolitan Police noted that the allegations in their criminal investigation remain separate from those detailed in the earlier media reports.

The ongoing accusations have also affected Walliams's professional projects. Organizers of the Doha Film Festival confirmed that the fantasy feature film "Fing!" has been pulled from their upcoming schedule. The British actor and writer authored the book that the movie was adapted from.
