## Summary

David Walliams faces allegations of sexual misconduct, grooming teenagers and workplace harassment, which he denies. The claims, made public after a three-year investigation by The Guardian and ITV News, have prompted debate over whether his children’s books should remain in libraries.

Walliams lost a High Court bid to block publication of the allegations. His books have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide, including over 26 million in the UK, worth more than £156 million; HarperCollins ended its relationship with him and is phasing out his titles from shops and digital platforms.
