Neil Gaiman accused of sexual assault in civil lawsuits filed in US British author Neil Gaiman has been accused of sexual assault in lawsuits filed by a woman in the US.
In January, Gaiman strenuously denied allegations of sexual assault made against him by eight women featured in a New York Magazine article.
Gaiman said he had reviewed messages exchanged with his accusers, and they read like "two people enjoying entirely consensual sexual relationships and wanting to see one another again".
In the lawsuits, the female complainant accuses Gaiman of sexual assault, battery, violating human trafficking laws, and inflicting emotional distress.
Gaiman, who wrote the novel American Gods and The Sandman comic book series, as well as the children's fantasy book Coraline, has had several works turned into films and television programmes in recent years.
