Copperfield 'cleared in rape investigation'

David Copperfield has reportedly been cleared in the investigation over an alleged rape.

According to TMZ, federal prosecutors dropped the case without filing charges against the magician.

The woman who submitted the complaint claimed in a civil suit that Copperfield invited her to his private island in the Bahamas in 2007. She said that Copperfield sexually assaulted her there.

The star's attorneys dismissed the lawsuit, calling it "extortion for money, plain and simple".
