## Summary

ITV News and The Guardian have reported allegations that David Walliams used his fame to groom girls and young women, including one woman’s claim that he sexually assaulted her when she was 15. Walliams denies being a sexual predator and says he did not abuse his status; the reports followed a failed court bid to prevent the outlets naming him, raising questions about privacy and public interest.

The investigation reportedly involved more than 100 people, and the court said some alleged conduct could amount to criminal offences if proven. Walliams, 55, has written about 40 children’s books, which have sold more than 60 million copies worldwide. The BBC is reviewing material featuring or written by him, while his literary agency has dropped him; police have contacted the news organisations about how possible victims can report allegations.
