A woman who claims David Copperfield sexually assaulted and threatened her in 2007 has just sued him.
The woman -- a 22-year-old fashion model -- alleges the assault took place while she was a guest on his private island in the Bahamas back in 2007, this according to the lawsuit obtained by The Seattle Times.
The woman claims she met David during one of his shows back in January of 2007 -- then got invited to his island in July. The suit says after watching a movie in David's room, he attacked and sexually assaulted her, threatening to kill her if she didn't go along.
The lawsuit alleges David kept at it, assaulting her two more times on the island. She reported the alleged assaults to Seattle police, who turned it over to the FBI.
Copperfield's lawyers were blunt about the suit:
"This woman, who filed the lawsuit, has a history of lying ... She has lied to law enforcement before and, as a result, had innocent people arrested based on a false accusation ... she is incapable of telling the truth.
This lawsuit is extortion for money, plain and simple. Unfortunately, false claims like this only hurt the women who really have been abused, women who really need our help."

Apparently the woman in question had fecal specks captured in a vial. Not sure what she will do with them and what they are about but could be useful in court.
Can't he make her disappear or turn her into a rabbit or something? He's David Copperfield dammit. WTF!?
As IF he would have to force ANY woman for sex, geez, another parasite slithering to feed off a host, and I doubt the loser was ever at any of his shows; let alone MET him....geez
FBIâs Behavioral Science Unitâs study of False Allegations conducted of 556 rape investigations, a total of 220 (40%) of these reported rapes turned out to be false.
DNA testing exonerated about 30 percent to 35 percent of the more than 4,000 sexual assault suspects on whom the FBI had conducted DNA testing over the past three years.
Women like this are crazy, truly. That would make 90% in my personal experience, thank you.
False accusations are common. Most woman lie for attention, money, revenge.
The government judges believe them. Even when it is learned that the woman lied, there are no charges against her. She's free to do it again, and again, and again.

Yeah, well if my name was David Kotkin (his real name), then I'd probably change it too - to something like Lenny Kotkin.
