64% Informative
Neil Gaiman is accused of sexually assaulting several women in the wake of the allegations.
The sci-fi and fantasy writer is perhaps best known for the comic-book series The Sandman and his novels Good Omens and American Gods .
He denies the allegations and insists the incidents described were instances of BDSM sex between consenting adults.
There was no shortage of women who would have volunteered to have consensual BDSM affairs with Neil Gaiman .
The way Gaiman wrote his characters, you felt sure that he knew the difference between the two .
The thrill is not in the depravity of the acts themselves but in forcing them on someone unwilling but unable to say no.
