A 2007 FBI memo said further investigation was needed to determine if they ‘engaged in referring possible victims to each other’. Copperfield has never been charged with illegal conduct and has denied any wrongdoing
FBI agents investigating David Copperfield in 2007 said that “a clear connection” existed between the famous illusionist and Jeffrey Epstein, according to documents released by the Department of Justice last week in the latest tranche of the Epstein files.
A 2007 FBI memo by agents in Seattle said further investigation of this “connection” was needed to “to determine if they [Copperfield and Epstein] both shared a predilection for minors” and “if they engaged in referring possible victims to each other”.
The FBI’s two-year investigation into Copperfield started in 2007 after a Seattle woman named Lacey Carroll, who had met Copperfield after attending one of his shows, alleged he had raped and sexually assaulted her on his private Bahamian island, called Musha Cay, after luring her there on the promise of modeling and promotional work. The investigation was dropped around January 2010 and Copperfield was never charged in relation to Carroll’s rape allegation or any other sexual misconduct.
