The legendary U.S. magician David Copperfield has been accused of sexually harassing and acting inappropriately toward 16 women, The Guardian reported in a bombshell investigation published Wednesday.
Among the most shocking allegations was a claim that the 67-year-old illusionist “drugged three women before he had sexual relations with them, which they felt they were unable to consent to.”
The report, which took more than five years to compile, also alleged that more than half of Copperfield’s accusers were under 18 when they were allegedly sexually harassed or “groomed.” At least one of his accusers claimed to have been as young as 15 years old at the time of the alleged incidents.
