The upcoming Doha Film Festival has removed fantasy feature “Fing!” from its program following sexual misconduct allegations against David Walliams, the British actor and writer who is the author of the book on which the film is based.

Walliams, who rose to prominence for his comedy show “Little Britain” before becoming a judge on “Britain’s Got Talent,” has recently been accused of grooming fans as young as 15 in a joint investigation by the Guardian and ITV News, who allege the comedian invited teenage girls over to his house, where they stayed over, and to his dressing rooms. They also allege he would “pester” and “pressure” young women, including models and an employee at his publisher HarperCollins, to go out with him and in some cases even take part in sexual activity.
