Famed magician David Copperfield is accused of grooming teenagers and assaulting young women he met at his shows over a decades-long period, The Guardian revealed.
On Wednesday, the outlet reported that 16 women shared allegations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior by Copperfield, spanning from the 1980s to 2014, and that more than half of the women were under the age of 18 at the time. (The illusionist denies these claims.)
The disturbing accusations detailed in the report are eerily similar to those against one of Copperfield’s old friends: the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
