David Copperfield responds to sexual assault allegation

Brittney Lewis said the incident took place when she was 17 during a modelling competition.

The world's highest paid magician released a statement on Instagram saying he supported the #MeToo movement.

Copperfield, 61, said he had been the victim of false allegations in 2007 and was having to "weather another storm".

"I've lived with years of news reports about me being accused of fabricated, heinous acts, with few telling the story of the accuser getting arrested, and my innocence".
