Surprised… not

There’s always been dirty old feckers.

We’re less afraid to point at them now.

If anyone is interested he’s selling up his house https://www.reddit.com/r/SpottedonRightmove/s/RAoUaLsrFR

Totally agree, especially after he has seen the sentence dished out to Brand

Having read the article, I wonder if he has actually broken any laws as such? Not excusing deeply sleazy and immoral behaviour but he does seem to have stayed just on the right side of the law.

I might be wrong.

Well hardly surprising news about Walliams. Honestly it is so depressing that there are so many entitled and sleazy celebrities. Hopefully the Brand result will be a turn of the tide and all these scum bags will finally face the full force of the law.

Well grooming a 15 year old girl is illegal. And I very much doubt he'd be threatening suicide and getting an injunction if it was just a bit of inappropriate or sleazy behaviour.

Ah - ok gotcha.

You have access to google or other internet search engines preumably?

Really?
You've never heard of him?

He groomed two 15 year olds and had a sexual encounter with one at 15. She stopped before they had full sex but he “sucked her breast”. He also accepted sexual images from a 15 year old, knowing she was 15. So yes, he has broken the law.

I know what you mean. All the women in the Guardian article were over 16. It's sleazy and seedy and definitely a massive power imbalance but not technically illegal.

However, there is a 15 year old girl he groped. That's got to be illegal surely?

Watching it now. A 15 y.o child abuse survivor. Oh the poor poor love 😞

He sucked on a 15 year olds breast and accepted sexual images from another 15 year old.

Move up & Make room Russell

I am not sure that the sexual images legislation was in place at the time of that incident. I think it's more recent law.

I think sexual assault of a minor. He kissed a fifteen year old, more than one, and kissed one’s breast, he does seem to have mainly waited till the age of consent I think, so potentially grooming and sexual activity with a minor, but I think this is more reputational damage. I may have missed something though.

i can see why he decided not to lodge an appeal. The press is full of rapist Russel brand and this is sleaze bag central but not in the same league. So suspect he was hoping it would not seem as bad as it is.

Basically he was going after young teenage girls.

Do you mean JR? I heard (from a policeman) years ago that he was the next one to be exposed.

Yes, I know. I mentioned the groping in my reply. I am in no way making excuses for him!!!

So Walliams has been sectioned and is receiving psychiatric help as an inpatient.
Presumably if he's tried and found guilty, his plea will centre around his mental health, or he will be too fragile to stand trial?

Oh that's interesting - Jonathan Ross made a 'joke' about Walliams going home with a fifteen year old at the Comedy awards in 2004. So yet another case of a powerful man, at the fucking BBC as per usual, having a grubby history of abuse and exploitation with very young women and it's an open secret and their mates laugh about it. And he was of course concealing all this behind a facade of good works, charity swims etc, so that if someone pointed the finger, or highlighted his eccentricity or oddness, or criticised the cruel nature of his comedy, his defenders could claim he had a 'good heart deep down.' It's a story as old as time, isn't it? How many times are people going to fall for it?

The Russel Brand sexual assault convictions were both at Choice FM, and the rape conviction from his show. As others have said, Wailliams had people at Harper Collins who knew what was going on. It's not a BBC problem it's an entertainment industry problem, of them letting the ' talent' get away with abusive behaviour and not protecting their own staff from them. Williams in recent times was at ITV and Brand was all over Channel 4.

Yes that’s true, I wonder if there will be criminal proceedings.

I think the suicide was a clever legal move, but it backfired. There is definitely more stuff there though. Same as Brand. Tip of the iceberg…
