David Walliams accused of preying on girls as young as 15 as he loses injunction battle

.




.

The high profile individual who failed to get an injunction against two media organisations to prevent them from reporting allegations against him can now be named as David Walliams.

Walliams, 55, brought legal action against Independent Television News (ITN) and Guardian News and Media (GNM), publisher of The Guardian, ahead of the two organisations reporting allegations against him, including of sexual misconduct and potential criminal activity.

Lawyers for the media organisations previously told the High Court in London the allegations involved Walliams’ alleged “abuse of power and status” to contact young women and try to engage in “inappropriate and exploitative sexual activities”.

Walliams denied the claims and unsuccessfully sought an injunction to prevent these publications because of the risk he would take his own life, after two previous suicide attempts.

David Walliams denies all allegations of wrongdoing, including criminal activity. He says claims he targeted teenage girls and young women - and used his celebrity status to coerce or manipulate them to have sex with him - are false.
