Acclaimed author Neil Gaiman faces allegations of sexual assault from two women, claiming non-consensual rough and degrading sexual acts during their otherwise consensual relationships. One woman, identified as Scarlett, alleges Gaiman assaulted her shortly after they met in 2022 while she was working as his nanny. The second woman, known as K, met Gaiman in 2003 and claims he ignored her pleas not to penetrate her due to a painful infection. Gaiman has denied all allegations, asserting that all interactions were consensual. The New Zealand police have initiated an investigation but have yet to interview Gaiman, citing ongoing efforts and various factors in the case. Gaiman attributes Scarlett's claims to false memories due to a medical condition, a stance not supported by her medical records.
