The Four Color Media Monitor

Tortoise Media, who interviewed at least 4 victims of the disgraced comics and book writer Neil Gaiman so far, appears to have also interviewed the 5th victim, who was previously interviewed by a separate podcaster. It says here:

A fifth woman has accused Neil Gaiman of sexually assaulting her. Claire – not her real name – says that while the author was on a book tour in the United States in July 2013 he took her to a room with a bed at the back of a bus, closed the door, then got on top of her and started kissing her and groping her under her dress and over her breasts.

Very horrifying, and the most alarming part of this whole affair:

Nearly ten years later Gaiman and Claire had two phone calls, in response to a letter she sent him detailing her ongoing trauma from the incident. Tortoise has heard recordings of these calls. Neil Gaimain admits that he “fucked up”, calls his behaviour “shitty,” and offers to pay Claire $60,000 to cover the cost of her therapy, and promises to make a “hefty donation” to a rape crisis centre where she once worked.

Absolutely stunning. He put a defenseless woman in the same situation as those she was helping experienced. What a scoundrel. There's no point buying any of his comics and novels now, nor watching any films and TV programs based on them.
