What is Neil Gaiman accused of? Everything we know so far

Neil Gaiman, full name Neil Richard MacKinnon Gaiman is in some serious soup lately. The 63-year-old British veteran horror writer has been accused of se*ual assault by two women.

The report was filed against him by two women in New Zealand, with whom he was in consensual relationships over the years. According to the ladies, he se*ually assaulted them and abused them physically, while he was living with them. He also practiced painful penetration and rough s*x with these women.

What does Neil Gaiman say against the charges that were pressed against him?

Gaiman has denied all the allegations of assault and inhumane behavior. According to the author, while he was in a relationship with these ladies, the carnal activities that he engaged in were all consensual.

The police have also not found enough evidence against him to date. The WhatsApp messages that have been found also appear in Gaiman’s favor and that he had sought consent. He had also offered the police help to investigate this grave matter and has not been jailed as of yet.

The claims and the charges these two women have made are untrue according to Tortoise Media, who broke the story first and also recorded the podcast.

According to Tortoise's understanding of this case, Scarlett has a medical condition that causes her to be delusional, which also makes her paranoid and have false memories. K on the other hand was motivated by regret because of her relationship with Gaiman, which made her press false charges against him.
