Louis Walsh's sexual accuser apologises for lies

The man who falsely accused X Factor judge Louis Walsh of sexually assaulting him is now facing jail time after admitting the allegations were all lies. 

Leonard Watters told police that Walsh groped him at Krystle nightclub in Dublin, Ireland, but while in court on November 2 he revealed that the whole story was a fabrication. He apologised to Walsh from the stand and said:

"I would like to sincerely apologise to Mr Louis Walsh for all the stuff I put him through. The allegation was false."

Watters will be charged on January 5, 2012. Watch a recent interview with the music mogul below:
