跟进：伦敦警方对涉及童书作家 David Walliams 的严重性罪行指控立案调查
伦敦警察厅11月13日表示，已对涉及英国喜剧演员、畅销童书作家 David Walliams 的严重性罪行指控立案调查。此前，《卫报》与 ITV News 本周二发表联合调查，多名女性指控 Walliams 利用名气侵害十几岁或二十岁出头的年轻女性；Walliams 否认全部指控，这些指控目前未经证实，也没有人因此被起诉。
警方在声明中说，他们收到了多起关于一名五十多岁男子的非近期严重性罪行指控，这些指控与《卫报》和 ITV 报道的指控是分开的；侦探同时在审查《卫报》与 ITV 的材料，看其中是否包含犯罪证据。按惯例，警方没有点名；负责调查的警司 Mike Cagney 呼吁任何性罪行的受害者都站出来与警方联系，无论事情发生在什么时候。Walliams 的律师没有立即回应置评请求。
Walliams 现年55岁，童书销量超过6,000万册，曾在2012年至2022年担任《英国达人秀》评委。他此前向伦敦高等法院申请禁令，试图阻止两家媒体发表指控，称发表会使他再次自杀；法官 Nicklin 11月3日驳回申请，认定发表确实会给他带来生命风险，但自杀并非不可避免，禁令将对媒体权利构成异常严重的干预。Walliams 没有在11月9日的上诉期限前上诉，两家媒体随即发表了调查。
他的出版商 HarperCollins 已于2025年12月停止出版他的新书，他的文学经纪公司也在指控发表后与他解除合作。英国广播公司此前已宣布下架并审查他参与的节目。

Follow-Up: London Police Open Investigation Into Serious Sexual Offence Allegations Involving Children's Author David Walliams
London's Metropolitan Police said on November 13 that it had opened an investigation into allegations of serious sexual offences involving British comedian and best-selling children's author David Walliams. The Guardian and ITV News published a joint investigation on Tuesday in which multiple women accused Walliams of abusing his fame to prey on young women who were teenagers or in their early twenties. Walliams denies the allegations, which are unproven, and no one has been charged.
Police said in a statement that they had received a number of allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences involving a man now in his 50s, separate from those reported by the Guardian and ITV News, and that detectives were also reviewing the two outlets' material to see whether it included evidence of offences. As is customary, police did not name Walliams. Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney, who is leading the investigation, encouraged anyone who has been the victim of a sexual offence to come forward, no matter when it happened. Walliams' lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Walliams, 55, has sold more than 60 million books and was a judge on Britain's Got Talent from 2012 to 2022. He had sought an injunction in London's High Court to block the two outlets from publishing the allegations, arguing that publication could lead him to take his own life again. Mr Justice Nicklin rejected the application on November 3, finding that publication would pose a risk to Walliams' life but that suicide was not inevitable, and that an injunction would be an exceptionally serious interference with the media organisations' rights. Walliams did not appeal by the November 9 deadline, and the investigation was published.
His publisher HarperCollins stopped publishing his new titles in December 2025, and his literary agent dropped him after the allegations were published. The BBC has already removed and begun reviewing programmes featuring him.
