"Federal judges have dismissed three lawsuits accusing the bestselling fantasy author Neil Gaiman of sexually assaulting his children's nanny in New Zealand four years ago. Scarlett Pavlovich filed a lawsuit against Gaiman and his wife, Amanda Palmer, in Wisconsin in February 2025, accusing Gaiman of multiple sexual assaults while she worked as the family's nanny in 2022. She filed lawsuits against Palmer in Massachusetts and in New York on the same day she filed the Wisconsin action."
"Pavlovich moved to drop the New York lawsuit against Palmer in May, explaining in court documents that she filed an action in that state because Palmer had recently relocated from New York to Massachusetts and she was unsure which state had jurisdiction. US district judge Mary Kay Vyskocil in New York granted the request in June. Pavlovich also dropped the portion of the Wisconsin lawsuit against Palmer in May,"
Federal judges dismissed three lawsuits accusing bestselling fantasy author Neil Gaiman of sexually assaulting his children's nanny in New Zealand four years earlier. Scarlett Pavlovich filed suits in Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New York alleging multiple sexual assaults while working as the family's nanny in 2022. Pavlovich dropped the New York suit against Amanda Palmer and removed Palmer from parts of the Wisconsin filing; judges in New York, Wisconsin and Massachusetts subsequently dismissed the remaining federal claims, saying the matter should be pursued in New Zealand. Attorneys for Pavlovich, Gaiman and Palmer did not respond to Associated Press requests for comment. Pavlovich identified herself publicly in a New York magazine interview.
