Heartbreaking.

A great piece of journalism reported with empathy and compassion. This is devastating to hear as a loyal Gaiman fan. My heart and respect goes out to these women, I hope they get their justice.

I believe them

Tortoise have provided a balanced and rather neutral podcast containing facts, victim interviews, and corroboration of video/text/photos shown to them as well as recordings of calls.

It allows the listener to listen to the facts and make up their own mind, rather than trying to push you in a direction for/against the claims which is appreciated.

The factual information contained within this podcast is upsetting, heartbreaking, and truly damning. It is presented clearly and consisely, and needs to be picked up by more people rather than shoved under the rug.

Thank you for giving these women an chance to share their stories, I hope it helps them to heal from what he has done knowing that their warnings are now out there.
