The lawsuit alleges that Gaiman coerced sexual services from his former live-in nanny, and that Palmer "knowingly benefited" from Gaiman's actions.

A former nanny has filed a lawsuit accusing Gaiman of sexual assault and Amanda Palmer of “procuring” her to be abused.

Scarlett Pavlovich, who accused Mr. Gaiman of rape and assault in a report last month, said in the suit that his wife had played a role in “procuring and presenting” her.
