Jonathan Ross denounces Walliams allegations and Brand conviction
BBC reported that TV presenter Jonathan Ross said he was horrified by the sexual misconduct allegations against David Walliams and the rape conviction of Russell Brand, speaking from London. The comments followed a High Court decision in which a judge rejected Walliams' request for a permanent injunction to stop the Guardian and ITN from publishing the claims, citing press freedom. The ruling came after a three-year ITV News and Guardian investigation alleged that Walliams had used his celebrity status to pursue and allegedly assault several teenage girls and young women, allegations the comedian denies.
