Neil Gaiman Sued for Sexual Assault, Human Trafficking by Former Nanny

Neil Gaiman, the best-selling fantasy author whose works have birthed several hit TV shows, has been sued for sexual assault by a woman who says he raped her multiple times while she worked for his family as a live-in nanny.
Scarlett Pavlovich, in a lawsuit filed on Monday in Wisconsin federal court, brings claims for sexual assault, battery and human trafficking, which center around allegations that he coerced her into forced sexual encounters with him as a condition of her employment. The author has a “decades-long history of sexual misconduct” as alleged by several women, many of whom have signed non-disclosure agreements, the complaint says.
The filing of the lawsuit comes in the wake of Dark Horse Comics announcing last month that it would no longer publish adaptations of Gaiman’s works after New York magazine published a cover story detailing his alleged history of sex crimes based on interviews with eight women.
