BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Ted Turner didn't do small.

A day after British actor-comedian Russell Brand was sent to prison for rape and sexual assault, allegations have surfaced against another leading comedian, David Walliams. The cases have sparked a wider reckoning about celebrity misconduct in the U.K. Walliams, a feted children's author and well-known TV personality, is facing allegations of using his fame to exploit young female fans. He had sought to block news organizations from publishing these claims, but a judge dismissed his bid. Walliams has not been charged, but the revelations have prompted questions about the media and entertainment industries' roles in enabling such behavior. Authorities are now urging stronger protections for women.

Stacy Keach, known for his role as Mike Hammer on TV and work onstage, has died at 85. His wife said in a statement that he died at home in Poland on Thursday after battling a serious heart condition. Keach was a renowned stage actor, celebrated for his Shakespearean roles and diverse performances. His career faced a major setback in 1984 when he was imprisoned for attempting to smuggle cocaine into Britain. Despite this, he returned to acting and continued to take on varied roles. One of his most recent roles was as an embittered father in last year's “Jay Kelly.”

Russell Brand's convictions this week for rape and sexual assault have renewed scrutiny on the BBC and other media employers that may have looked the other way. Brand, who gained fame while cultivating an outrageous persona, was convicted Thursday on multiple charges involving several women. The BBC has apologized for a culture that allowed his behavior to go unchecked. An internal probe followed a joint investigation by The Times and Channel 4, which aired accusations from women who said they were abused by Brand. Analysts argue that Brand's raunchy image acted as a shield, allowing his excesses to be overlooked by employers and the public, too.

Florida authorities say a gunman opened fire at Citibank's business complex in suburban Tampa and killed a woman before a security guard fatally shot him. Chief Deputy Frank Losat of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office told a news conference Wednesday that the shooter drove a car through a fence and plowed into an outdoor courtyard where Citibank employees were eating lunch. Losat said the gunman exited the car with a rifle and fatally shot one person before being shot by private security. Four other people were injured, but Losat said he didn't know if any were shot. Authorities have not given a motive for the shooting at the sprawling complex, where 3,200 people were working.
