David Copperfield is being investigated by a grand jury
Looks like those alleged rape accusations are being taken seriously - magician David Copperfield is being investigated by a grand jury:
Sources confirmed that the woman told investigators Copperfield later promised he could help with her modeling career and invited her to his isolated $50 million private retreat at Musha Cay, in a tiny string of white-sand islands 85 miles southeast of Nassau, Bahamas.
She told investigators Copperfield assured her that there would be other guests at the 150-acre resort, which is restricted to a maximum of 24 guests and rents for up to $50,000 a night. From Nassau, the retreat is accessible only by charter plane and then private boat.
When the woman, 21, made the trip in late July — after exchanging e-mails with Copperfield, 51 — she found herself the only guest on the island with him, she told investigators. She has told Seattle police, and later the FBI, that Copperfield raped and struck her during her two days on the island, said sources familiar with her allegations.
She said that, afterward, Copperfield threatened her, telling her she’d better keep quiet, and then escorted her onto a plane, sources said.
Copperfield’s attorney, David Chesnoff of Las Vegas, reiterated Friday that “Copperfield has never forced himself on anyone.”
After leaving Nassau, the woman flew to Florida and then Seattle, where she told her family what happened and went to the Harborview Center for Sexual Assault and Traumatic Stress, sources said. A rape kit was assembled, and a federal source has confirmed that some of her clothing was taken into evidence.
This sounds pretty bad - what do you think, is he guilty?
