British Author Neil Gaiman Denies Sexual Assault Allegations

Neil Gaiman, author of The Sandman comic book series and novel American Gods, has denied allegations of sexual abuse by eight women, including Scarlett Pavlovich who alleged that he encouraged her to take a bath naked before joining her. The allegations, which include claims of non-consensual sexual activity, were first made in last year's podcast series 'Master: The Allegations Against Neil Gaiman' and have since been expanded upon in other sources, including a New York Magazine article and a Tortoise Media podcast. Gaiman has responded to the claims in a post on The Sandman, denying any wrongdoing.
