AI analysis

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

UK children's author Walliams named as subject of sexual allegations by media LONDON, Nov 10 - Two media groups named British comedian and bestselling children's author David Walliams on Tuesday as the high-profile figure who had tried to prevent allegations of sexual misconduct being published by saying he would take his own life if they were revealed. The Guardian and ITV News said that Walliams, formerly a judge on music mogul Simon Cowell's "Britain's Got Talent" television show, had sought an injunction against the newspaper and the broadcaster ITN, which produces ITV News. Walliams, who has sold more than 60 million books, had sought to block publication of the allegations, which he denies, primarily on the grounds that he would again attempt suicide if they were made public. Reporting on the investigation on Tuesday, the Guardian said multiple women had accused Walliams of abusing his "power and position as a celebrity to prey on them for sexual purposes when they were teenagers or young women".
