Writers are people just like all others. Some of them do reprehensible things; some of them commit crimes. Personally I prefer to keep a person's work and personality/real life separate - I'm not interested in the latter. Yes, it's fully possible that Gaiman is not a nice person, or even that he is a horrible person. That doesn't influence my decision to read his work in either direction.
(No, I'm not a fan of Gaiman. But let's face it, many excellent works, some of them now considered classics and taught in schools, were penned by people I'd want to avoid in real life like the plague).
