Looks like your hunch was a good one.

Here are the court papers. Interesting that Amanda Palmer is also being sued, but when you read these you can understand why!

ETA: hmmm that link doesn't work, but a Google search will lead you to them and they are worth a read

I am able to see some of the court docs here:
(I believe they would also be accessible through PACER.)

Neil Gaiman's ex-wife Amanda Palmer denies negligence allegations
The former couple faces a lawsuit from a woman who worked for the couple in New Zealand.

I checked out the insta post. I would expect a little more outrage given what she's been accused of. Quite an underwhelming denial with a strong flavour of obfuscation and redirection.
Does having a small child give you some kind of entitlement to privacy when accused of a crime? Don't remember who that's true for. Think it's kind of irrelevant.

Do we know from this when they are likely to actually appear in court?
Or what their next move might be?
So interesting that the two of them will be co-defendants. Presumably not an easy task for lawyers when the two co-defandants are also involved in divorce/custody proceedings against each other and presumably are highly motivated to throw each other under the bus!

From an old post on Amanda Palmer's facebook:
"...on the long drive back from being away, we had a funny conversation, the kind i think you can only have when you've been together for six years.
we talked about how skeptical and warn-y our various friends and acquaintances were.
we both got warned off.
...
we were no good, they tutted in their own turns.
users,
abusers,
philanderers,
bad news, us.
trouble.
watch out.
yeah. it's basically true. we're both bad news.
but now we're a team."
Chilling.
And the latest on Neil's response to the lawsuit here:

Neil Gaiman asks US court to dismiss lawsuit alleging rape and sexual assault
The author’s motion to dismiss argued that the case should be heard in New Zealand, where the alleged abuse took place, and called accuser Scarlett Pavlovich ‘a fantasist’

Well, that move underscores what a jerk he is, imo.

It certainly reeks of revenge.
And it makes me wonder HOW MANY MORE Ndas there are out there, because it's obviously a priority for him to make sure more aren't broken!
More of a priority than the impending lawsuit from Scarlett.
