Second victim comes forward in David Blaine ‘sex attack’ probe
It's been reported that David Blaine, could face a second police investigation as another British model comes forward with claims that he sexually assaulted her mor ethan 20 years ago.
According to The Mirror, the women told officers from Scotland Yard that she was attacked by the magician in New York when she was just 19-years-old.
A spokesperson for Scotland Yard told the paper: “The Metropolitan Police Service received an allegation of sexual assault on Monday, 23 October 2017.”
“The offence is reported to have happened against a woman in New York between May and June 1997. Specialist officers are supporting the victim.”
The alleged victim reportedly made the revelation six days ago and is due to be interviewed by detectives later this week.
It's believe that she made the decision to come forward after speaking with former Chanel model, Natasha Prince, who claims she was raped by Blaine after being drugged at a party in London in 2004.
The performance magician has denied the allegations.
Speaking to the Sunday People, Natasha said: “After I told my story, a British ex-model got in contact with me. I got really emotional and started crying.”
"Even though I may have recovered somewhat since the night of the incident it still had a major affect on who I really was."
"From that night I felt I had been robbed of my spirit. The more I’ve had therapy, the more I understand why I didn’t come forward and blamed myself.”
The latest claim means that the accused, who is already under investigation by British police, could now be questioned by the NYPD.
