David Blaine has denied an allegation that he raped ex-model, Natasha Prince.
The magician is accused of raping Prince at a house in Chelsea in 2004 some months after her 21st birthday.
The Daily Beast has reported that Scotland Yard is currently investigating the claim.
Prince alleges that Blaine invited her to his friend’s house and then raped her.
She said:
“I followed him, and we went into the bedroom, and it’s dark. I told him right away when he texted me that I was working tomorrow.
“But he spun around quite quickly and said, ‘Kiss me.’ I did kiss him. And then he said, ‘Finish your drink’ and took the glass from me and put it on the table, and that’s really the last thing I remember.”
The ex-model also said that she couldn’t remember what happened the next day.
“The next thing I remember, I was sitting in the makeup chair getting my makeup done, and thinking, ‘What did I do last night? Did I have sex with David Blaine?’ But I didn’t want to…” I felt hazy, completely out of it.”
Blaine’s attorney Marty Singer has denied these allegations.
In a statement to the Daily Beast, he said:
“My client vehemently denies that he raped or sexually assaulted any woman, ever, and he specifically denies raping a woman in 2004.
“If, in fact, there is any police investigation, my client will fully cooperate because he has nothing to hide.”
Police have asked Blaine to return to the UK to be interviewed.
