Overview
- Wallace says his lawyers view his situation as a “terrible injustice” as he seeks unredacted BBC records and up to £10,000 in damages.
- The BBC has filed a High Court defence denying he suffered distress and arguing he is not entitled to any damages or other relief.
- The Lewis Silkin review upheld more than 40 allegations about Wallace’s behaviour, including unwelcome physical contact, three instances of being in a state of undress, and inappropriate sexual language.
- Wallace, who disclosed an autism diagnosis in 2025, argues the diagnosis is relevant to the findings and is considering a separate claim focused on that issue.
- Neurodiversity advocates say autism does not excuse misconduct, and Ambitious About Autism has ended its association with Wallace.
