MELBOURNE, Australia — Best-selling British author Neil Gaiman denied on Wednesday that he had ever engaged in nonconsensual sex after a magazine this week published allegations that he had sexually assaulted several women.
The 64-year-old author of 'The Sandman' comic book series and novel 'American Gods' was responding to a New York Magazine article that detailed accusations of assault, abuse and coercion from eight women. Four of the allegations had been broadcast in a Tortoise Media podcast in July.
