Best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman has denied allegations of sexual assault made by multiple women that were most recently reported in an article published by New York Magazine on Monday.

New allegations of assault against "The Sandman" and "Coraline" writer Neil Gaiman have been waged, following allegations last year.

Most of the allegations relate to occasions when Gaiman was in his 40s or older and living in the United States, Britain and New Zealand.
