The Metropolitan Police in London have launched an investigation into historic serious sexual offense allegations involving David Walliams, a famous British children's author and actor, following the publication of accusations against him in the UK media this week.
On 13 Nov 2026 GMT+7, the Metropolitan Police of London, England, opened an investigation into historic serious sexual offense allegations involving David Walliams, age 55, a well-known British children's author and actor, after accusations about him were published in the British media during the week.
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement that they received multiple allegations of historic serious sexual offenses involving a man currently in his early fifties.
