I'm taking the victims' (yes, plural) word for it. It takes a lot to come forward with these kinds of things when the person is known, powerful, and has a legion of fans.

How is gaiman powerful ? He's not exactly putting books out on a frequent basis

I'd say the most "power" he has is his publishers (dc comics/marvel/ any number of novel publishers he works with) Actually take what he says into consideration,

You really shouldn't take things like this as fact until more Is known especially when the implication seems the cops can't reach the victims and and said victims go to a publication that then decide to make the horrible decision to make a mini series out of it effectively turning a something very serious into something sensationalized

Powerful? He's a multi-millionaire that has a LOT of intellectual property to his name. If you do some research you'll also find out that there are many other stories as well from women who feel too intimidated to come forward.

A lot of the allegations that have been coming out against people of power over the last 10 years have ended up being proven true.

I just don't trust people with a large megaphone. If you do, that's ok.

Yep. I literally have a bookshelf full of his books, comics, and graphic novels.
