Author Neil Gaiman denied allegations of sexual assault and abuse made by multiple women and reported in a New York Magazine story earlier this week.

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

"The Sandman" author Neil Gaiman has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women, who claim he sexually assaulted them, forced them to call him "Master," and in one instance, ordered a woman to "lick [her] own sh*t." A representative for the author said such acts were merely BDSM between consenting adults.

Neil Gaiman is facing new allegations of rape and sexual assault, including several claims brought by a former babysitter.

Multiple women have spoken on the record in a New York Magazine cover story, accusing "The Sandman" creator Neil Gaiman of sexual assault.
