The Guardian US investigated claims that the famed entertainer selected girls and women from his audiences and subjected them to sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior. Copperfield’s lawyers say the allegations are ‘false and entirely without foundation’ Copperfield is the subject of an extensive investigation conducted by The Guardian's U.S. edition, published Wednesday. The investigation examines the damning allegations of numerous women who claim the famed illusionist sexually assaulted them or behaved inappropriately during their interactions. In total, 16 women have come forward and accused Copperfield of sexual abuse and lewd conduct, including grooming, groping, drugging and rape. Many of the women are identified in the investigation using pseudonyms to protect their identities. Attorneys for Copperfield have denied the women's allegations and said Copperfield has "never, ever acted inappropriately with anyone, let alone anyone underage." The allegations span four decades – from the late 1980s to 2014. More than half of these women say they were under the age of 18 at the time of the alleged incidents. The Guardian US is examining these allegations as part of a series of stories that has drawn on interviews with more than 100 people and analysis of court and police records obtained through freedom of information act requests. The allegations against Copperfield include claims that he drugged three women before he had sexual relations with them, which they felt they were unable to consent to.Six former Copperfield employees from the early 1990s to mid-2000s claimed in interviews that he frequently asked his assistants to approach attractive young women from the audience and invite them to come up on stage or join him after the show. These ex-employees said Copperfield regularly had the women join him in his limousine, hotel or penthouse afterwards, sometimes several times a week. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/05/15/david-copperfield-sexual-misconduct-investigation/73704365007/ » https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2024/may/15/david-copperfield-allegations ▫️Former Fort Carson soldier sentenced to 5 years probation for possession of child sexual abuse material A former Fort Carson soldier was sentenced to five years of sex-offender intensive supervised probation on Thursday.
