Former nanny for Neil Gaiman sues British author and wife, alleging repeated sexual assault

A woman from New Zealand has filed three civil lawsuits against best-selling British author Neil Gaiman and his wife, Amanda Palmer, accusing Gaiman of repeatedly sexually assaulting her while she was working as the couple's babysitter and nanny.

Scarlett Pavlovich on Monday filed the lawsuits in federal court in Wisconsin, where Gaiman lives, and in Massachusetts and New York for Palmer.

Pavlovich alleges in the lawsuits that she was homeless and living on a beach when she met Palmer in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2020. Pavlovich was 22 years old at the time.
