(CNN) -- Authorities are investigating a Seattle woman's allegation
that she was sexually assaulted by illusionist David Copperfield, two
law enforcement sources told CNN on Friday.
David Copperfield's Las Vegas warehouse was raided by FBI agents
earlier this week.
An attorney for the magician "categorically denied" the accusation.
But the probe led FBI agents Wednesday to raid a warehouse Copperfield
owns in Las Vegas and to search the Las Vegas hotel where he
frequently performs.
Attorney David Chesnoff said Seattle police have not given him the
name of the woman making the accusation, but he told CNN that the name
"wouldn't matter really ... because it's categorically denied as a
false accusation, an impossible kind of claim."
"Mr. Copperfield's reputation precedes him as an impeccable
gentleman," Chesnoff said.
"So we're obviously disturbed that those kind of allegations are being
made, but we believe that that's a common event now, unfortunately,
for celebrated people to be to be falsely accused," he said.
"Certainly no one he's ever had a relationship with could ever say
that about him," he said. Watch a report on the raid and

Earlier Friday, Seattle police said the FBI raid on the warehouse
stemmed from an accusation in a police report filed by a Seattle woman
over the summer concerning an incident that allegedly took place in
the Bahamas.
They did not specify the type of allegation made against Copperfield.
Glenn Miller, chief superintendent in charge of the detective unit of
the Royal Bahamas Police force, told CNN he had no official reports of
any incident involving Copperfield.
Agents were investigating a case based in Seattle when they entered
the warehouse Wednesday night, an FBI spokesman said.
No other information could be made public about the probe, FBI Special
Agent Robbie Burroughs said.
A dozen FBI agents stormed the warehouse and took a computer hard
drive and a memory chip from a digital camera system, as well as $2
million in cash that was inside a safe, reported CNN affiliate KLAS in
Las Vegas, citing a source close to the investigation.
CNN could not immediately confirm these details.
FBI agents also searched the Hollywood Theater at the MGM Grand Hotel
in Las Vegas, where Copperfield performs, said Yvette Monet, a
spokeswoman for the hotel's parent company, MGM Mirage.
"We are fully cooperating with the investigation as best we can," she
said.
Copperfield earned $57 million in 2005 and the same amount the year
before, according to Forbes magazine.
The 51-year-old performs in Las Vegas and around the world, has
starred in TV specials, and was named a "living legend" by the Library
of Congress.
He was once engaged to model Claudia Schiffer.
According to his Web site, Copperfield began performing professionally
at age 12 "and became the youngest person ever to be admitted to the
Society of American Magicians. By 16, he was teaching a course in
magic at New York University." E-mail to a friend
Journalist Katherine Barrett in Seattle contributed to this report.
