Possibly. His ex-wife was more
than 10 years younger and a model, albeit in her mid 20s rather than younger. One or two of the women in the report were current or former models IIRC.

No, they're referring to the suspect (IE Walliams) being a man in his 50s...

Read somewhere of a schoolgirl on Instagram randomly got a follow by Walliams. He was 48 at the time. It was clear she was still at school because some of her grid was her and her mates in school uniform etc. She had never had any contact with him before, never followed him etc. She wanted to take her mum to a BGT recording for a birthday treat. He arranged the tickets. When she got there the guest tickets for all the seats DW had reserved were full of young girls. The production team moved her and her mum out of the DW guest area and put them in the front row. She noted DW kept looking at the empty seats. She went to see him afterwards with her mum and he said where were you, you were meant to see me before the show. He invited her to an aftershow party. A security guard showed them out and warned her mum to not attend the party. She went home with her mum. I don’t think she had any more contact with him. She is now an instagrammer, may have appeared on reality tv. He stopped following her when she aged out.

Now, Simon C, Amanda H and Aleysha D are not blind. Did they not see that his guest sections at the many shows that it takes to record one series, were all young girls. Amanda H has girls in the age range, would she not think it odd that a middle aged man was only inviting teenage girls? I am not blaming her for what he did, but it is just an indication that anything goes in that world. And not just that world - his publishers wouldn’t allow single young females to be alone with him.

Money is at the root of all this. Blind eyes being turned if they are earning them revenue. Nobody is that talented that can be given carte blanche to act immorally or illegally.

Disgraceful. If the age of consent were 18 (with close in age exemption for peer peer relationship ) he wouldn't have done this because he wouldn't have dared and wouldn't have been allowed to. He was only allowed to get away with it because it was legal.ans therefore the production companies could wash their hands of his behaviour.

I’ve just bought her book. I feel there has to be some level of public support as she probably will never work in TV again.

I admire her, but although she's expressed this fear, I doubt it's going to be the case.
