## Key points

- The High Court allowed allegations against Walliams to be published.
- Thirty women are reported to have made allegations.
- Walliams denies wrongdoing but regrets thoughtless behaviour.

## Summary

The allegations against David Walliams have now been published after the High Court rejected his attempt to stop The Guardian and ITN releasing their investigation. Walliams denies the claims and says he is “not a sexual predator”, but acknowledges that he may have behaved “thoughtlessly” towards women in past relationships.

The investigation reports allegations of sexual misconduct and harassment by 30 women, dating back to the early 2000s; some say they were as young as 15 when contact began. Walliams said he regretted not always considering others’ feelings, but denied abusing the power associated with his fame or breaking the law. HarperCollins has stopped producing his books following separate harassment allegations by junior staff, and ITV News has released a documentary about the investigation.
