MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A woman from New Zealand says in lawsuits that British author Neil Gaiman sexually assaulted her repeatedly when she worked as a babysitter and nanny for him and his wife.
Scarlett Pavlovich filed the lawsuits in federal court in Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New York. The lawsuits accuse Gaiman’s wife, Amanda Palmer, of introducing Pavlovich to Gaiman as the couple’s babysitter in 2022 even though Palmer knew he would sexually assault her.
Online court records don’t list an attorney for Gaiman but earlier this year he denied ever engaging in non-consensual sex.
The Associated Press does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they come forward publicly as Pavlovich has done.
Pavlovich’s attorneys stated in the filings that Gaiman, us a citizen of the United Kingdom, but resides in Menomonie.
