Famed magician David Copperfield had dinner with an alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein at one of the late pedophile’s homes and asked her if she knew that girls were paid to recruit other girls, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.
Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg testified that she had met Copperfield, 67, when she was asked directly by attorney Sigrid McCawley in a May 2016 deposition, in which several redacted names were made public.
“Someone called me from home and told me he would be there and if I wanted to go to dinner I could meet him,” Sjoberg said.
“So when I got to the house, he wasn’t there yet, but I waited with, I think, Sarah Kellen, and there was another girl there who I’d never met or seen. She seemed young to me.”
Sjoberg asked the girl what school she went to, to see if it was one of the universities in the area, but she didn’t recognize the name and said it was possible it was a high school.
“And then I thought she might be younger than college age, but I had to assume for my own sanity that she was the daughter of one of his friends,” she said.

What we know about Jeffrey Epstein’s list of 170 associates
- Documents were released Wednesday naming 170 associates of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The list included Michael Jackson, magician David Copperfield, Stephen Hawking, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former President Bill Clinton, who, according to one Epstein victim, “likes young women, meaning girls.”
- Disgraced royal Prince Andrew, a known friend of Epstein, was named in the documents and was previously sued by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of sexual misconduct toward her. According to an expert on the royal family, the Firm “will stand by” the Duke of York “no matter what happens.”
- Epstein’s former lawyer and friend Alan Dershowitz defended associates of the late billionaire sex offender, saying: “None of us knew about his private life that he kept secret.” Dershowitz, who is on the list, added that no one should be automatically convicted in the court of public opinion simply for appearing in court documents.
- Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told The Post that the former business mogul said he could have altered the 2016 election because of what he knew about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton: “Here’s a direct quote: ‘If I said the what I know about both candidates, they would have to cancel the elections. That’s what Jeffrey told me in 2016.”
- Only a few of the 170 names and their relationships with Epstein have been made public. The rest of the documents will likely become public records over the next week.
