London's Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation after receiving several complaints of alleged sexual offences dating back years. The British actor and comedian has denied the allegations, stating that he did not break the law.
British actor and writer David Walliams is being investigated by London's Metropolitan Police after receiving several allegations of serious sexual crimes, which allegedly occurred years ago.
Police said officers have received a number of reports in recent days involving a man in his 50s, but did not publicly confirm his identity in the initial announcement.
According to authorities, these allegations are separate from those previously published by ITN and The Guardian newspaper. However, investigators are also reviewing these media reports to determine whether there is evidence that could constitute criminal offenses.
Walliams has denied the allegations published in the media.
"I am not a sexual predator. I have not broken the law," he said.
Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney, who is leading the investigation team, has urged people who may have been victims of sex crimes to come forward to police, regardless of when the incidents occurred.
"We would encourage anyone who has been a victim of a sexual crime to come forward and speak to us, regardless of when it happened," Cagney said.
