Add David Blaine to the list of famous men accused of sexual assault. In this case, two women say they were assaulted by the magician on separate occasions more than 20 years ago – in 1997 and 1998.
One woman claims Blaine hypnotized her into performing sexual acts after meeting him through a friend and going to his apartment. The other accuser says that she was also sexually assaulted in his apartment, though the circumstances have not been released.
Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea has confirmed that the New York Police Department is investigating the claims, but a source tells New York Postthat the statute of limitations mean Blaine's not likely to be charged. As for Blaine, tells The Daily Beastthat the cops haven’t been in touch.
- This isn't the first time Blaine has been the subject of such a claim. Back in 2004,Natasha Prince went to police in London. Blaine denied the claims and ultimately,declined to proceed further.
