David Walliams has been identified as the British celebrity at the centre of sexual misconduct allegations explored in an ITV documentary.
The comedian had previously fought to keep his identity secret, but his name was disclosed during a discussion of the claims on the programme “The Low Down”, a collaboration between TMZ and the New York Post.
One woman alleges that she met Walliams when she was 15 and he was 32. She claims their relationship later became sexual.
The discussion also examined allegations that Walliams pursued relationships with teenage girls over extended periods, with links being established before any alleged sexual encounters took place.
Walliams’ unsuccessful legal attempt to prevent the allegations from being made public was also considered. It included claims that his lawyers sent legal threats to women who were considering speaking out.
