Fox News is reporting that a woman in Seattle has pressed charges against wizard David Copperfield, claiming that he raped her. Fox says:
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.On Thursday, FBI officials raided a Las Vegas warehouse used by Copperfield. Seattle FBI agent Robbie Burroughs said Thursday the case was related to one in Washington."The investigation is related to a Seattle case. The Seattle case is pending and that means we can't say anything about it," Burroughs said.Copperfield's Las Vegas attorney, David Chesnoff, refused to give specifics about the charge. "If in fact those are the allegations, unfortunately false allegations are all too often made against famous individuals," Chesnoff said. "But we are confident the investigation will conclude favorably."
And Extra is reporting that Copperfields Las Vegas warehouse has been searched and the FBI confiscated a computer hard drive, a memory chip from his digital camera and almost 2 million dollars in cash. Extra also said … wait, the FBI can do that? They can just take your cash if you're accused of a crime? What on earth does his cash have to do with an accused rape? I don't think rape is even illegal in the Bahamas. In fact I think that's the motto on their license plates. Between all the drunken tourists and potent weed, that place is a forced-penetration powder keg. And do we have to call it rape? That's such an judgmental word. Why not "an unexpected penis surplus"?
