Did David Copperfield offer $2 million to the woman who’s accusing him of rape? The famed illusionist allegedly promised that much in cash to his accuser, a friend of the woman tells The National Enquirer.
According to the friend, Copperfield invited the 21-year-old beauty to a “lavish party” at his remote compound in the Bahamas. But when she got there, on July 27, she discovered “there was no party - and no other guests,” according The Enquirer source.
“She got nervous and wanted to go home right away, but David convinced her to stay, saying she could leave the next day if she really wanted to,” the friend claims.
That night, Copperfield forced himself on the woman, holding her arms “down on the bed, leaving her with terrible bruises,” the friend charges.
“She told me she fought back,” the friend says. “But she said that just seemed to turn him on more.”
“After Copperfield had finished with her and left to clean off, the young woman had the presence of mind to use her cell phone to take photos of the crime scene,” according to the tab. “In order to preserve physical evidence, she says she didn’t shower. The next day, she went back home to Seattle, where her mother met her at the airport.”
“They drove straight to the Harborview Medical Center, where medical personnel performed a ‘rape kit’ on her,” the friend told The Enquirer.
Sounds like it can’t get any worse for Copperfield? Well, it can.
He’s being sued for canceling tour dates in Southeast Asia at the last minute as a result of a the new FBI probe.
Viva Art International Limited and MAZ Concerts Inc., who have filed a civil lawsuit in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County for breach of contract, are demanding the return of several million dollars that were paid into an escrow account for his performance.
Copperfield has reportedly refused to return any portion of the sum.
A rapist and a cheapskate. What a catch, ladies!

I still don’t believe it. It’s just some jilted broad looking for a payday.
el creepo.
I tend to agree Starr, there are plenty of freakys who’d sleep with him just because he’s famous he doesn’t need to trick some 21 year old.
I’m no expert, but Rape isn’t about sex its about power. He could have a dozen women standing there ready to go but if he wants to get over on this one girl he’ll use sex to do that. I’m not saying he’s guilty, just that its possible.
Since it’s coming from the “National Enquirer,” I really don’t believe one word.
David Copperfield…a rapist?? I doubt it.
she is SMART for taking pics and preserving evidence…..she must be a CSI fan…..lol
time will tell who’s telling the truth.
Convicting him of rape based on tabloid evidence saves that messy step of a fair trial, doesn’t it?
