As previously report, David Copperfield is being investigated by the FBI. It has been revealed that the illusionist is being investigated for possible sexual misconduct.

Citing an unnamed source, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported the FBI raid of Copperfield’s warehouse on Wednesday was “connected to an investigation of possible sexual misconduct by the illusionist.”

The source said the alleged incident occurred outside the U.S. but is within the FBI’s jurisdiction because the accuser is a U.S. citizen, according to the paper.

Copperfield’s attorney did confirm that there was a investigation currently being done by the FBI on Copperfield but added, “If in fact those are the allegations, unfortunately false allegations are all too often made against famous individuals. But we are confident the investigation will conclude favorably.”

A spokeswoman for the FBI only said “The only thing we’re confirming right now is that there was some investigative activity in the Las Vegas area yesterday connected with a Seattle-area case, both of which are pending.”

Update: I currently read on Foxnews.com that a female in Seattle is claiming that David rapped her.

“The woman told Seattle police the magician raped her while she was in the Bahamas, sources said. Because the alleged incident happened abroad and the woman did not report it until she returned to the United States, Seattle authorities turned over the case to the FBI.”
