Magical Man Can't Make This One Disappear
This is no illusion for David Copperfield as he faces serious allegations of sexual assault, there are some who would argue that "Copperfield the Conjurer" is also a con — that the world-famous illusionist sank to playing dirty tricks in order to buy property in a Bahamian island where the alleged rape occurred. It was once owned by a block buster executive.
Copperfield was also sued for fruad in 2004 . In federal court documents filed in Nevada, an angered owners accussed Copperfield of identity illusion in his quest to buy the gorgeous resort.According to a 2005 article in the Chicago Sun Times, Copperfield decided to handle rumor control on his own, through his Web site. The case was settled in 2006 but the terms were never disclosed.
Now the magic man is being accused of rape — on the very Bahamian property Copperfield so desperately wanted to own. The incident allegedly happened in June, and the accuser did not file a police report on the island, but in Seattle. The case is now being investigated by the FBI, which raided Copperfield's private warehouse in Nevada. Reps for Copperfield emphatically deny he's involved in any wrongdoing.
My question is this: How can one of the highest paid entertainers do something like this? Answer perhaps he is Bi-Polar.
