The Metropolitan Police has launched an investigation after receiving "a number of allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences" against David Walliams.
The force says the allegations are separate from those reported by ITN and The Guardian. However, as part of their investigation, detectives are also proactively reviewing that reporting to establish whether there is any evidence of offences.
Police Statement and Appeal
Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney said: "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.
"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."
Anyone wishing to report information to police can do so by calling 101, providing the reference 4900/10NOV26, or by contacting the Complex Sexual Offences Unit directly on 0207 175 2738.
Background of Allegations
The investigation follows a three-year investigation published by media outlets that accused the television star of preying on girls as young as 15 for sex. Walliams denied the allegations.
The Little Britain actor previously lost a High Court bid to stop ITV News and the Guardian from revealing claims that he groomed teen fans and abused his celebrity status to pursue young women for sex.
This is a breaking news story and is being constantly updated.
