Met Police have launched an investigation into David Walliams over alleged serious sexual offences. The probe follows reports by ITV News and The Guardian earlier this week, which alleged several women had accused the comedian of sexual misconduct. In a statement, the Met said it has received a number of allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences involving a man now in his 50s. The Met said the allegations it is investigating are separate from those reported by ITV News and The Guardian, but detectives are proactively reviewing their reporting to establish whether there is any evidence of offences as part of their investigation. When the allegations were first reported, Walliams said he was not a sexual predator and had not broken the law. The Met said those who have come forward are being supported by specialist officers. A detective superintendent urged anyone who has been the victim of a sexual offence to contact police, no matter when it happened. The investigation is ongoing, with the Met continuing its review of earlier reporting and no charges or court outcomes reported so far.
