David Walliams attempted to legally prevent the publication of allegations regarding his sexual misconduct against young women, as reported by Sky News.

Walliams, a well-known comedian and children's author, denied the allegations and threatened suicide if the reports were published. His lawyer mentioned previous suicide attempts.

Walliams has been found guilty of crimes against four women, including sexual assault and harassment.
