British Author Neil Gaiman Denies Sexual Assault Allegations
ai generated text
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.
In general, police cannot respond to queries which seek to establish whether specific individuals are, or have been, under police investigation. Additionally, anyone who makes a complaint to police has the right to privacy.
The literary crowd that had a hell of a lot to say about Harvey Weinstein before he was convicted has been strangely muted in its response to multiple accusations against Neil Gaiman from young women who'd never met, yet - as with Weinstein - tell remarkably similar stories.
As I read through this latest collection of accounts, there are moments I half-recognise and moments I don't, descriptions of things that happened sitting beside things that emphatically did not happen.
I'm far from a perfect person, but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever.
