David Copperfield is being accused of sexual misconduct by 16 women, half of whom claim they were underage when he allegedly groomed or groped them.

The Guardian published an expansive report Wednesday after speaking with more than 100 people, including former employees who claimed Copperfield tasked them with approaching young women at his shows. The alleged incidents occurred over four decades, according to the report, from the 1980s to 2014.

Three of Copperfields accusers also claimed the magician drugged them before their nonconsensual sexual encounters.

HuffPost has reached out to representatives for the magician for comment.

One woman identified as Carla claimed Copperfield gave her his phone number and a teddy bear for Valentines Day when she was 15. She says he sent her a note, which was given to The Guardian, when she was 16 that read: In 2 years I will be back.

Carla said she was only 17 when Copperfield invited her into his limousine and pushed her head toward his crotch. She told The Guardian that she was not forced to perform oral sex, but felt awkward as it was her first time.

Carla said they had penetrative sex when she was 18 and believes she was groomed. Copperfields lawyers denied that the magician groomed Carla and said their relationship was consensual.

I was a young schoolgirl infatuated with a man who was famous and I think he used that to benefit him, she told The Guardian.

Another woman identified as Gillian claimed Copperfield invited her and a friend backstage for a drink from the crowd of one of his shows in Las Vegas in the 1990s. Gillian said she was then handed a glass of sambuca that made her feel weird, physically weird.

Gillian added she felt fuzzy before blacking out. She said she remembers waking up while Copperfield was having sex with her.

I am 56 years old now, she told the outlet. Never in my life have I had a time where I dont consciously remember [a period of time] I would never just say this to somebody if I didnt truly, honest to God believe that I was drugged at that time.

The expos noted that Copperfield also allegedly groped four women during live performances and spoke on the phone with five teenage girls and their families.

Copperfields lawyers denied both the alleged drugging and said it was untenable that he would have groped an audience member during a performance.
