Illusionist David Copperfield's 'rape' nightmare over as model drops two-year-old claim

Article here. Excerpt:

'A model who accused David Copperfield of luring her to his private island in the Bahamas and raping her has dropped her lawsuit against the magician.

Lacey Carroll, 23, announced her decision just days after a U.S. judge ruled that Copperfield's lawyers would be allowed to question her under oath this week.

'It has never been about money,' Ms Carroll said in the statement. 'I just wanted him held accountable for what he did.'

Since the alleged incident, she has since been charged with fabricating sexual assault claims against another man.
...
The FBI and federal prosecutors spent more than two years investigating the allegations, even searching Copperfield's Las Vegas warehouse, but closed the case early this year without filing criminal charges and without explaining the decision.
...
But the magician's Seattle attorney, Angelo Calfo, today said: 'Carroll's lawsuit was nothing but a pathetic attempt to extort Mr Copperfield for money with malicious and false allegations.'
