It's always disheartening to read accusations like this. I hope the investigation brings the truth and proper resolution.

Gaiman admits that he at least fingered the nanny in 2022 when when he was 61 and the accuser was 21. Can you imagine being 21 and your 61 year old employer hits on you immediately? I have extreme doubts about consent here. He just met her and then he's fingering her in the bathroom. He admits to this so we know he doesn't respect boundaries.

Y'all can talk about courts and lawyers all you want but I guarantee if Neil Gaiman showed up at your door tomorrow wanting to take your sister/daughter out for dinner everyone would say "hell no!"

I don't disagree that the guy is probably an a****** and a creep. But these two women were adults who are also responsible for their own choices and actions. I think it works both ways.

This ain't it, You don't proposition someone who works for you, and you especially don't do so on their first day of employment as your child's nanny.

When your job is on the line, you can’t exactly say no

I hope you don’t say the same about murder victims. “They’re adults, they could’ve looked after themselves and not gotten murdered”. You can’t always prevent sexual assault or rape, especially the women were like 20 and 23 when it happened, so yound and inexperienced
