Abra Cadabra ain't gonna do it this time for David Copperfield. The magician has found himself in some hot water after being accused of sexual assault, as well as evading the IRS by keeping a cool 2 mil in a private safe. If only he could make himself disappear.
A dozen agents from Seattle carted away a computer hard drive, a memory chip from a digital camera and close to $2 million in cash during a late-night raid Wednesday on the famed magician's Sin City storage space....The Las Vegas Review-Journal...reports that the seizure was "connected to an investigation of possible sexual misconduct by the illusionist" that originated in Seattle.I ain't buyin' the sexual misconduct charge... only because this guy was able to bag Claudia Schiffer for like a gazillion years, and has been linked to many a high-profile super model -- a fucking magic act if ever I saw one, considering that mug of his.Copperfield's attorney issued a statement confirming that the search took place. "We understand there is an investigation, [we] are in touch with the investigators, and are respecting the confidentiality of the investigation," lawyer David Chesnoff said.
As for the possible sexual misconduct, Chesnoff issued an additional statement Friday:
"It is important these allegations be put into perspective. An unidentified woman has made serious allegations against David Copperfield. Although authorities have not revealed her identity to us, we know these allegations are false because David Copperfield has never forced himself on anyone." "Unfortunately false allegations are all too often made against famous individuals. But we are confident the investigation will conclude favorably," Chesnoff told the Review-Journal. [e!]

You absolutely cannot say that a man would never rape someone just becuase he's also able to keep a girlfriend or wife. That is total caveman thinking. Think about that BLT torture-killer who had an entire church-going family on the side, or the big-time TV preacher who was doing meth with male prostitutes on the DL. Rape is NOT about whether or not you're handsome or rich enough to "get some" without using force.
The BTK Killer, although he went completely unnoticed for years, did exhibit traits of a sexual/violent offender for years -- but, everyone failed to pay attention. I believe, if you go back and read the reports from that time -- he was abusive to his wife. Like most violent criminals, there's a trail of evidence.
Let's use Mike Tyson as an example -- as this is probably a better comparison than BTK. Tyson had a record of abuse and violence prior to Robin Given's revalations and his future stints in jail.
What I'm trying to say is... if David Copperfield was an abuser -- of any kind -- there would be evidence to speak of such. The issue here is, there isn't. And, sad as it may be -- some people are willing to go to any length for some cash. (Tawana Brawley, the Duke Rape Case, etc.)
That being said: we don't know as of yet what the charge is. The jury's out on both of them. But, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say -- based on his character over the years... he probably didn't do it -- whatever "it" was.
I hope you can understand we're not trying to make light of any situation such as this. That wasn't the intent. We're putting our slant on the info we have at the time of posting. If you don't like it, you're free to comment and navigate away from the page.
Just remember, opinions are like assholes -- everyone's got one and they all stink.
tyson didn't do it!
