A woman who accused David Copperfield of luring her to his private island in the Bahamas and raping her - and who was later charged with fabricating sexual assault claims against another man - dropped her US federal lawsuit against the magician.

US prosecutors closed a two-year rape investigation involving magician David Copperfield yesterday without filing any charges, and police said his accuser made a false sex assault claim against another man last month.
