The Perverted Lives of the Rich and Famous > Writer Neil Gaiman and Wife Sued for Rape and Trafficking; Fake Hollywood Producer guilty of murder; Motorcycle champ jailed for child rape
Neil Gaiman, wife sued for rape and human trafficking
by former nanny

A woman from New Zealand has filed three civil lawsuits accusing best-selling British author Neil Gaiman of repeatedly sexually assaulting her while she was working as his family’s babysitter and nanny.
Scarlett Pavlovich filed the lawsuits — one against Gaiman and his wife, Amanda Palmer, and two more against Palmer — in federal court in Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New York on Monday.
The Associated Press doesn’t identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they publicly identify themselves. Pavlovich identified herself in an interview with New York Magazine, which published an article in January detailing allegations of assault, abuse and coercion levelled by eight women.
Pavlovich alleges in the lawsuits that she was homeless and living on a beach when she met Palmer in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2020. Pavlovich was 22 years old at the time.
According to the lawsuits, Palmer invited Pavlovich to the couple’s home on Waiheke Island. Pavlovich began running errands for the couple, babysitting their son and helping with chores, eventually becoming the couple’s nanny.
Gaiman first sexually assaulted her the night they met in February 2022, according to the lawsuits. The assaults continued but she kept working for the couple because she was broke and homeless and Gaiman had told her he would help her writing career, according to the lawsuits.
When she told Palmer about the assaults, Palmer told her that more than a dozen women had told her in the past that Gaiman had sexually abused them, according to the lawsuits.
The assaults didn’t stop until Pavlovich told Palmer she was going to kill herself, the lawsuits said. She left the family and became homeless again, although the documents say Gaiman eventually paid her for her work caring for the couple’s child and helped cover her rent for a few months.
Palmer knew of Gaiman’s sexual desires and presented Pavalovich to him knowing he would assault her, according the lawsuits. Pavlovich alleges Gaiman and Palmer violated federal human trafficking prohibitions and seeks at least $7 million in damages.
After the New York Magazine article was published, Gaiman released a statement in January denying he had ever engaged in non-consensual sex. The allegations of four of the women were previously broadcast in July in a Tortoise Media podcast.
“I’m far from a perfect person, but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever,” Gaiman posted on the social media platform Tumblr.
Representatives for Gaiman and Palmer did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday and online court records did not list lawyers representing them in the suits. Pavlovich’s lawyers stated in the filings that Gaiman, author of such bestsellers as Coraline and The Sandman series, is a resident of Menomonie, Wisconsin. But they’re unsure if Palmer resides in Massachusetts or New York.
Sexual predators have a different definition of 'consent' than normal people.
Pavlovich told New York Magazine that she filed a police report in January 2023 accusing Gaiman of sexual assault. Police have not confirmed whether Gaiman was ever under investigation.
Gaiman has worked with numerous publishers over the years. Two of them, HarperCollins and W.W. Norton, have said they have no plans to release his books in the future. Others, including Bloomsbury, have so far declined comment.
Dark Horse Comics announced in January that it would no longer release its illustrated series based on Gaiman’s novel, Anansi Boys. The seventh of eight editions was released earlier that month.
Disney has paused a planned adaptation of Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book, while Netflix is still scheduled to release a second season based on The Sandman.
Hollywood producer David Pearce guilty of murder for fatally drugging model Christy Giles and her friend in stunning verdict
LOS ANGELES — Hollywood producer David Pearce was found guilty of murder Tuesday in the drug overdose deaths of model Christy Giles and her pal — whose lifeless bodies were callously dumped outside Los Angeles hospitals in 2021.
A jury convicted him on all charges, including the rapes of seven women who came forward after he was charged in the overdose deaths.
Pearce, 42, was charged with murder for luring Giles, 24, and her friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales Arzola, 26, to his apartment in November 2021, plying them with fentanyl-laced cocaine and drugging their drinks. Prosecutors alleged that he refused to call for help after finding them unconscious.

Pearce was also charged with counts of rape against seven victims who came forward after his arrest.
LA prosecutor Catherine Ann Mariano told the 12-member jury that Pearce is a calculating serial rapist who lured women to his home by posing as a Hollywood bigshot and promising to help them break into the entertainment business.
Pearce met Giles and Arzola in 2021 at a warehouse rave party in LA.
According to court testimony, he and a wingman, Michael Ansbach, brought the girls back to Pearce’s apartment.
Ansbach testified that Pearce pushed all three guests to snort his cocaine. He allegedly served wine to the women and handed Ansbach a foul-tasting cocktail that made him feel dizzy, pass out and become violently ill when he woke up.
The women also passed out but never woke up, Ansbach testified. He also told jurors that when he begged Pearce to call 911, his pal allegedly refused, saying, “Dead girls don’t talk.”

Was David Pearce really a Hollywood producer?
Grok: 15 web pages, 9 posts
David Pearce claimed to be a Hollywood producer, but the validity of that claim has been heavily scrutinized. According to information on the web, Pearce's actual credits were sparse and embellished. He was more prominently known as a nightclub and party promoter in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, often associated with bringing attractive people and minor celebrities to events rather than producing films or television shows. His IMDb bio lists some involvement in acting and production, but there are doubts about the extent of his involvement. For instance:
Steven Antin, the creator of "Young Americans," where Pearce claimed to be a "regular," stated he did not recall Pearce being a significant part of the show, suggesting Pearce might have been an extra at most.
Multiple sources describe him as a "fake producer" or a "B-list" promoter rather than a recognized Hollywood producer.
After Ansbach left, Pearce and his roommate Brandt Osborn, who is being charged as an accessory, allegedly shoved the women’s lifeless bodies into his car, drove them to two different hospitals and dumped them on the curbs before driving away.
A toxicology test found fentanyl and the date rape drug GHB in Giles’ body. Prosecutors told the jurors that the fentanyl was fatal, and that Pearce knew his cocaine had been laced with it.
But Pearce claimed he had no idea the two women were in danger until it was too late.
Taking the stand against the advice of his attorneys, Pearce testified that he put the women in a guest bedroom before going to sleep in his own room. When the women had been unconscious for 12 hours, Pearce claimed that he administered CPR and drove them to hospitals, because he thought it would be faster than calling an ambulance.
But Mariano urged the jurors not to fall for Pearce’s story.
“The defendant is a guy that gets off in power and control,” she told the jury. “Exerting power and control over vulnerable women.”

Pearce faces 128 years to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Family of the victims spoke out at a press conference after the sentencing — lamenting their loss and pushing back on what they said are false characterizations by the defense of their deceased loved ones.
“My daughter was not a party girl. She was not a slut. She was not all the things the defense called her,” Christy Giles’ mother said in an emotional statement. “And Hilda was not either.”
The mourning Alabama woman added that she was “relieved” at the result of the trial and grateful to prosecutors for putting her daughter’s killer behind bars.
Mrs. Giles added through tears that Christy was a wife and wanted to be a mother.
“She was looking forward to her whole future,” she said.
The grieving mom was joined by her own mother for the sentencing.
“I’m going to go home and heal. … I have peace,” said Giles’ grandmother Sandy Leslie, who will return to with her daughter to Alabama.
“I’m just glad they’re going to put him away,” she told The Post.
Since Pearce’s arrest, other women have come forward and claimed he drugged and raped them.
In addition to two murder counts, Pearce was charged with sexually assaulting seven victims over a 13-year period.
Pearce met his victims — who were not identified in court — at parties or on dating apps, served them drugged drinks and then forced himself on them, Mariano said.
Giles’ mother celebrated the vindication of Pearce’s several other unnamed rape victims.
“They were able to get justice for all of the victims,” she said. “The Jane Does finally had their day in court — and were believed.”

Former motorcycle champion jailed
for child rape
A former motorcycle racing champion and Isle of Man TT rider has been jailed for 18 years for raping a seven-year-old girl.
Connor Behan, 33, of Heath Avenue, Newcastle-under-Lyme, was found guilty of multiple counts of raping of a girl under 13, as well as multiple counts of sexual assault and engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.
He was found not guilty of an additional count of sexual touching.
Behan was jailed for 18 years and given a restraining order at Chester Crown Court on Friday.
He will also remain on the Sex Offenders Register for the rest of his life.
Police said Behan sexually assaulted his victim on multiple occasions, starting in May 2019 when she was seven.
Cheshire Police launched an investigation into the abuse in October 2022, after the girl told a teacher at her school.
As part of the investigation, a detection dog was deployed which found traces of Behan's semen on a blanket owned by the victim.
Det Sgt Scott Graves said: "Behan sexually abused his victim for a sustained period of time – he showed no remorse, denying everything throughout the investigation.
"Thankfully, the jury were able to see through his lies, and he will finally be held accountable for what he's done.
"I hope this result will allow the victim to eventually move on with her life, now that Behan will be unable to hurt her ever again."
