British actor-comedian Russell Brand may have been sent to prison for rape and sexual assault, but the wider soul-searching over celebrities getting away with sexual misconduct in the U.K. is far from over.

A day after Brand was jailed, a second British comedian - David Walliams - was in the headlines, accused of using his fame and status to prey on young female fans, including teens, for sex.

Walliams, a feted children's author and TV personality, had sought a court injunction to block two news organizations from publishing the allegations against him.
