A three-year joint investigation by ITV News and the Guardian reveals allegations dating back to 2003 that David Walliams preyed on teenage girls and young women for sexual purposes. David Walliams denies he had any sexual contact with “Jade”. He rejects any allegations of criminal activity and says he has never engaged in the grooming of young women. David Walliams also denies grooming “Alex”. He denies he was pushy towards her and finds the suggestion “distressing”. He says he believed she was 18 when they had sex and that she raised no concerns at the time. He says he is "mortified to learn that their brief, consensual relationship has caused her sadness." Walliams says that claims he targeted teenage women and used his celebrity status to manipulate them to have sex with him are false. Report by Gluszczykm.

00:00There was this, I'm going to say, alleyway, and he took me down there to say bye.
00:09He didn't push me up to the wall, but sort of edged sort of into this sort of corner where
00:17we can be seen.
00:19And that's when he kissed me.
00:21His tongue was used.
00:24It was, I don't want to use the word aggressive, but it was quite, he was excited.
00:32Jade told us Walliams then invited her back to his house, and she agreed to go.
00:37I think I was still naive to what he wanted to happen.
00:41I didn't think he would want sex, especially that quickly.
00:48I hate this bit.
00:51But he lifted my top up and sucked on my breast and then tried to put my hand down his
00:56trousers.
00:58And that's when I pulled away and said no.
01:01I wasn't ready for sex.
01:03I didn't want to do that with him or with anyone.
01:06I didn't want to be touched in that way at all.
01:08I mean, I was only a 15-year-old.
01:12When we met, I was 15.
01:13I was home from school, and the house phone rang, and I picked it up.
01:17And he said, hi, Alex, it's David Walliams off the telly.
01:22Nearly two years after their initial meeting, Alex and the comedian met in person again, this time at his house.
01:31I remember him just being this white, like, a looming figure.
01:35He's a big guy.
01:40I remember him coming at me and kissing me.
01:44It was a really pushy kiss.
01:49We went on his bed, and yeah, we had sex.
01:54But I was too young.
01:56You were 17.
01:58The sex was legal.
02:01Yeah, okay, it's legal to have sex when you're 17, 18, 16 even.
02:06But the context of who you're having sex with, if that person is double your age,
02:11if that person has promised you things and is in a much bigger position of power,
02:15but then you both in age, in work, in finance, and in stature, and size, like everything,
02:21I really don't think that's okay.
02:24I think I was groomed 100%.
02:28I never said no, but I felt unable to say anything or have any control in that situation once I
02:37was with him.
02:38I don't think that's okay.
