COPPERFIELD UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR SEXUAL MISCONDUCT

LATEST: Illusionist DAVID COPPERFIELD is at the centre of an FBI investigation after a Seattle, Washington woman accused him of raping her in the Bahamas. FBI agents seized cash and items in a raid on a Las Vegas warehouse owned by the magician on Wednesday (17Oct07). Among the items confiscated were a computer hard drive and a digital camera memory chip. Copperfield's attorney, David Chesnoff, insists the sexual misconduct charges against his client are false. He says, "Unfortunately false allegations are all too often made against famous individuals. "We are confident the investigation will conclude favourably. We are in touch with the investigators and are respecting the confidentiality of the investigation."
