Scarlett Pavlovich claims she faced sexual violence while working for Gaiman and his estranged wife, Amanda Palmer, in New Zealand

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, who last month accused Neil Gaiman of a litany of disturbing sexual crimes, has filed suit against Gaiman and his estranged wife, Amanda Palmer. Made public earlier today, the suit accuses Gaiman of sexual abuse and Palmer of being aware of his “decades-long history of sexual misconduct” and failing to protect Pavlovich from him.

After months of horrific allegations of sexual misconduct, The Sandman creator Neil Gaiman has been today been taken to court on in a trio of states on allegations of rape, human trafficking and more by a former New Zealand nanny of he and musician Amanda Palmer’s son.

Scarlett Pavlovich filed a lawsuit in federal court against the author Neil Gaiman on human-trafficking charges under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, a law intended to curtail the crime in the United States and abroad.

Gaiman and his wife, singer Amanda Palmer, face claims from their live-in nanny that Gaiman repeatedly raped her and called her his “slave.”
