IN JUNE 2011, LOUIS WALSH, Westlife’s manager and X-Factor judge, was falsely accused of sexually assaulting a 24 year old man, Leonard Watters. Watters later admitted in court that the allegations were false and he has now been arrested by Irish police on suspicion of knowingly making a false report. Louis has now consulted his lawyer over libel claims. As is the case with so many falsely accused people, Louis thought his life was over after the allegations were made. He confesses that he did wonder, at one point, knowing he was about to be falsely branded a sex attacker, whether to commit suicide. Following the case against him being dropped, he said: ‘I don’t think I’ll ever complain about anything again in my life because nothing could be worse than what I went through. Nothing. If I was told I had cancer, it wouldn’t be as bad as that.’

the only wonder in this case was that the man actually confessed. If he stuck to his story Louis would have been toast-even if found 'not guilty' his career would have been over.

I can only think that there must have been CCTV footage in the nightclub that proved he was innocent.. but for the grace of God etc etc

Is it any wonder Louis is now paranoid.

Is it me or did Louis appear like a rabbit caught in someone's headlights on Top Gear? Clarkson went very easy on him, but Walsh appeared to have no confidence, as if he was sat there in the nude or something....
