>>4393323Alright, here goes. I'm kind of in neutral territory with Neil. I know him, he comes across as inappropriate from time to time, but generally harmless.
Now, a few weeks ago (I think? It was after Animania but before Supanova), a girl named Emma posted a rather lewd status on Facebook, and she screencapped the status and the resulting comments, then posted them here. He responded that he was jealous, she told him to stop creeping, etc, he said he wasn't, and she bolted out this huge accusation of him being a pedophile/hebephile/ephebophile/whatever is correct. She said he asked her to have sex with him several times and was pushy about it when she was 14/15. He asked her to remove the post, she said no. She went to his wife, who suffers from really severe arthritis (she just was in the hospital for several days getting surgery to try and alleviate it.) So the thought is, because his wife is often in pain, that he pervs on young girls in exchange for photos/photoshoots, etc.
People came forward also saying he was creepy, there was slut-shaming, etc.
Personally, do I find him a bit of a creeper? Kinda. But not as bad as some guys that lurk at cons. He's never approached any of my friends or me, and no proof was ever brought up, so it's all hanging out in the open still.
