"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."

The FBI opened a two-year probe into Copperfield after Lacey Carroll alleged rape and sexual assault on Copperfield's private Bahamian island, Musha Cay, following a promise of modeling and promotional work. The investigation was dropped around January 2010 and Copperfield was never charged. Copperfield has denied sexual misconduct and his lawyers denied friendship with Epstein, describing them as at most acquaintances. The released documents show interagency discussions about Epstein-related evidence.
