- An alleged victim is reportedly willing to speak publicly.
- Walliams denies wrongdoing; his bid to block reporting was refused.

## Summary

Investigative journalist Justine Smith has said a second prominent man accused of having multiple victims is protected by an injunction. The claim adds to concerns about restrictions on reporting allegations, after David Walliams was named in reports about alleged sexual misconduct and grooming; he denies wrongdoing.

Smith said the unnamed man obtained the order several months ago and that an alleged victim was willing to speak publicly, but publication remained barred. Walliams’s own bid to prevent reporting was refused by a judge, who said it would be an exceptionally serious interference with freedom of expression. Police have contacted ITV News and the Guardian about informing potential victims how to report criminal allegations.
