00:00both of them in the public eye. I mean, I've spoken to one of the alleged victims in one of
00:04them.
00:05She's prepared to speak publicly and be named, but we still can't publish that.
00:09He's managed to get an injunction, very heavily slapped anyone who dares say anything about it.
00:15So we know this man is out there potentially abusing other people,
00:19and there's nothing we can do to report it.
00:21That was the Private Eye podcast reporter Justine Smith, revealing another celebrity's
00:26identity is being protected by the court while facing accusations from multiple victims.
00:31Unlike David Walliams, who was named by The Guardian after his London High Court request
00:35for anonymity was denied, this second mystery star had their gag order granted, according to the
00:41journalist. She added that this new celebrity targeted, quote, multiple, multiple victims.
00:46She also thinks he poses a danger to society. The first attempted mystery celebrity, David Walliams,
00:51tried telling the court his life was at risk if publicly identified.
00:55His attorney said Walliams was highly likely to commit suicide if named,
00:59and had already been hospitalized for months after two attempts on his own life.
01:03But a judge denied the request, and after Walliams missed the appeal deadline,
01:07The Guardian was able to reveal his identity and their entire investigation with ITV News.
01:11According to The Guardian, Walliams, a comedian and bestselling author,
01:15is being accused by multiple women that he used his status to groom them for sex,
01:19including two who say they were just 15 years old when they met.
01:22Walliams denied being a sexual predator, but admitted he had regret over behaving thoughtlessly
01:27toward other people he had casual sexual relationships with. He also refuted that he
01:31abused the power imbalance in his relationships, adding,
01:34And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous,
01:37abusing that power is something else entirely, and it is something I never did. He went on,
01:42I am not a sexual predator. I have not broken the law, but I am devastated that some of the
01:47women I
01:47met 10 to 20 years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me.
01:51Walliams' legal team also denied allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior in
01:56the workplace.
