“Good Omens” author Neil Gaiman accused of sexual assault

New Zealand police told the newspaper that they have “made several attempts to speak to key individuals as part of the investigation and that these efforts are ongoing” and that “a number of factors need to be considered in this case, including the whereabouts of all those involved.”

Scarlett, 23, has accused Gaiman of sexually assaulting her in the bathroom of his New Zealand residence in February 2002 while she was working there as a nanny. Scarlett claims that he performed “degrading penetrative sexual acts on her” during her consensual relationship with Gaiman. Turtle Media reported.

The 63-year-old bestselling author has denied the allegations, saying they only “cuddled” and “made out,” but Turtle Media has “seen contemporary messages and notes and spoken to friends Scarlett spoke to at the time” that confirm Scarlett’s claims.

A second woman, K, has also made sexual harassment allegations. She met Gaiman when she was 18 at a book signing in Florida, and the two began a romantic relationship when she turned 20. She now claims she had rough and painful sex with him that she “neither wanted nor enjoyed.”

K further claims that Gaiman penetrated her even though she had an infection, despite her asking him not to. Gaiman denies this claim, and according to TortoiseMedia, This claim is not supported by K’s medical records or history.

The allegations were first reported on July 3 in a four-part series by tortoise Podcast Master: The allegations against Neil Gaiman It described the women’s accounts of non-consensual sex with Gaiman.
