After months of horrific allegations of sexual misconduct, The Sandman creator Neil Gaiman has been today been taken to court on in a trio of states on allegations of rape, human trafficking and more by a former New Zealand nanny of he and musician Amanda Palmer’s son.

Neil Gaiman, the prolific author of 'The Sandman' and other works, was accused in a lawsuit Monday of violent sexual abuse of a babysitter.

Neil Gaiman and his estranged wife Amanda Palmer were sued by Scarlett Pavlovich, a former nanny who claims Gaiman sexually assaulted her multiple times when she worked for the former couple in New Zealand.
