The Seattle Times is reporting that a federal grand jury in Seattle is investigating allegations made by a local woman against The Magic Man. The unnamed Seattle woman claims that she was raped, assaulted, and threatened by Copperfield at his private island in the Bahamas in July.

The Seattle Times reports that the woman told the cops that she was approached by Copperfield’s stooges at his show in January. At that time, the Magic Helpers directed her to special seats and asked her to come onstage as part of the show. As earlier reported by PHATLAW, Copperfield has used his show as a “system” to pick up the ladies wherein the Bahamas was often mentioned as a potential vacation spot.

PHATAW readers may be asking themselves, how did this Creep lure this woman to his “private” island. Well, here’s the answer – apparently, Mr. Creepy promised her he could assist her in her aspiring modeling career and asked her to come to his island where other guests were supposed to be present – but there weren’t. Once on the island, the woman claims she encountered the two day ordeal.

To date, no indictments or criminal charges have been filed against The Island Owner. If indictments are handed down, however, then look for the charges to be for sexual assault and possibly false imprisonment (based on the woman’s claimed two day nightmare on the private island).

PhatThought: Looks like Copperfield’s new name should be David Cop-a-feel!

Copperfield = Creep

TMZ TV interviewed Amanda from Atlanta recently.  Amanda claims that she attended a David Copperfield show in Las Vegas and was chosen by Copperfield’s people to be taken on stage during the show.  Amanda, who was wearing a scandalously short black dress on the night in question, claims that Copperfield invited her backstage after the show.

As PHATLAW previously reported, Copperfield is currently under investigation in connection with allegations of a Seattle woman that claims Copperfield sexually assaulted while in the Bahamas.  Recently, the FBI raided a Vegas warehouse and seized digital camara equipment and computer hard drive in connection with the investigation. 

PhatThought:  Fortunately for Copperfield being a creep is not a crime or grounds for a civil suit or Amanda might have a cause of action.

FBI Raids Copperfield’s Warehouse

PHATLAW sources reveal that the FBI has raided David Copperfield’s Las Vegas warehouse and seized a hard drive computer and digital camera equipment. The FBI’s reason behind the raid is related to Copperfield’s elaborate “system of picking up women.” Oh yes, PHATLAW readers, The Magic Man supposedly has a “system” for picking up the ladies. Well, his “system” may lead to his arrest on sexual assault charges.

Here’s the skinny on the purpose behind the FBI raid. Apparently, the Magic Maker has designed a show for picking up women. Essentially, during his shows, Copperfield picks certain female audience members to come up on stage. If he likes them, he uses code words like “mama” and “secrecy” to alert his assistants that he wants to spend more time with them. So, after the show, the dutiful assistants ask these women to accompany Copperfield backstage. Once backstage, the “magic” really happens. At that time, Copperfield photographs the women and asks a series of questions. Apparently, one of the questions relates to their favorite vacation spots. One vacation spot that was mention was the Bahamas. Copperfield owns a cluster of islands in the Bahamas and the alleged sexual assault was said to happen there.

So, this may explain the FBI’s interest in the camera equipment and hard drive. If the accuser is one of the women who was photographed, this could establish a possible M.O. and lead dear ole’ David into hot water.

PhatThought: Who knew the Magic Man needed such a ruse to score with the ladies.

David Copperfield is Reportedly Under Investigation

October 22nd, 2007

PHATLAW has learned that The Million Dollar Magic Man is reportedly being investigated for rape. An unidentified Seattle woman is alleging that Copperfield raped her in July in the Bahamas. The woman didn’t report the alleged rape until she was back in the States. Since the alleged rape occurred abroad, the Seattle police have turned over the case to the FBI.

There are reports that no rape kit was done. Thus, there may be no physical evidence supporting the allegations. Without any physical evidence of a sexual assault, the prosecution will be very difficult. So, the FBI will have to resort to finding any individuals who witnessed the sexual assault or have any information related to the allegations. Since the incident happened in July, locating any witnesses will likely prove to be difficult as well.

PhatThought: Did Copperfield’s Magic Stick get him in trouble or will he be able to wave his wand and make the allegations disappear? Only time will tell.

PHATLAW will continue to post the latest developments in this case.
