In 2007, former beauty queen Lacey Carroll accused David Copperfield of sexual assault on his private island. The FBI investigated the claims, raiding Copperfield’s Las Vegas warehouse. However, the case was closed without charges. Carroll was then later charged with making a false sexual-assault claim against another man. She pleaded guilty in 2010 and was hit with a fine and community-service hours.

“I’ve lived with years of news reports about me being accused of fabricated, heinous acts, with few telling the story of the accuser getting arrested, and my innocence,” Copperfield wrote on Twitter about the earlier accusation. Then, addressing the new allegations he wrote, “So while I weather another storm, I want the movement to continue to flourish. Always listen, and consider everything carefully, but please for everyone’s sake don’t rush to judgment.”
