Neil Gaiman denied allegations that he sexually assaulted two women who accused him of 'rough and degrading sex' in a new investigation.

Neil Gaiman — the best-selling author whose work includes comic book series *The Sandman *and the novels Good Omens and American Gods — has denied sexual assault allegations made against him by two women with whom he had relationships with at the time, Tortoise Media reports.

The allegations were made during Tortoise’s four-part podcast Master: the Allegations Against Neil Gaiman, which was released Wednesday. In it, the women allege “rough and degrading sex” with the author, which the women claim was not always consensual.

One of the women, a 23-year-old named Scarlett, worked as a nanny to his child.

      Oops. You’re right. I read ‘forties’ from the person I was replying to and wires got crossed.

        One of the accusations was twenty years ago so 40s applies.

          Either way, he was a big celebrity then and he is one now, so I don’t think we can argue that this was some insecurity on his part.

            If you truly believe that a celebrity can’t be insecure, you don’t really understand how humans work.

            Well, celebrities have more to lose if their sexual partner becomes hostile, so that could be one way celebrities are insecure about sex.
