On Wednesday, David Copperfield preemptively released a statement saying he supports the Me Too movement but cautioned against rushing to judgment about false allegations.

Shortly after, a new, decades-old sexual assault claim broke against the famed illusionist.

According to The Wrap, aspiring model Brittney Lewis, then 17, was drugged and sexually assaulted by Copperfield in 1988.

The alleged assault happened after she competed in a modeling contest in which Copperfield was a judge, The Wrap reports.
