Neil Gaiman, the bestselling fantasy author, denied sexual abuse allegations made by eight women in an explosive New York magazine article.

Best-selling British author Neil Gaiman released a statement Wednesday denying he had ever engaged in non-consensual sex after a magazine this week published allegations from several women, accusing him of sexual assault.

I have never engaged in nonconsensual sexual activity with anyone,” said the best-selling author in response to allegations in New York magazine.
