The quoted police statement did not name Walliams, a comedian and former Britain’s Got Talent judge. The Met said it had received “a number of allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences involving a man now in his 50s.” Source Source
Police said those allegations are separate from the claims previously reported by the Guardian and ITV News. Detectives are also reviewing that reporting “to establish whether there is any evidence of offences,” the Met said. Source Source
According to Sky News, the earlier Guardian and ITV News reporting included accusations of sexual misconduct and grooming involving teenagers. Walliams denied those media allegations, saying: “I am not a sexual predator... I have not broken the law.” Source
“We would encourage anyone who has been the victim of a sexual offence to come forward and speak to us, no matter when it happened,” said Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney, whose team is leading the investigation. “We know reporting allegations of this nature can be daunting, but specialist officers are on hand to provide support, answer questions and guide you through the process.” Source
