Neil Gaiman sexual assault

Three additional women have come forward with allegations of sexual assault against author Neil Gaiman, following previous accusations from two others. Caroline Wallner claims Gaiman pressured her for sex while she and her daughters depended on him for housing, stating he threatened her with eviction if she resisted. Wallner reportedly signed a non-disclosure agreement after receiving a $275,000 settlement from Gaiman. Another accuser, Julia Hobsbawm, alleged that Gaiman made an aggressive unwanted pass at her in 1986. Gaiman has denied all allegations, asserting that any sexual relations were consensual or misunderstandings. These recent claims extend the timeline of alleged misconduct attributed to Gaiman over the last five decades.
