Seattle Escorts: Copperfield rape accuser pleads guilty to obstruction
Lacey Carroll entered the plea Monday in Bellevue District Court, after prosecutors agreed to drop charges of prostitution and filing a false police report.
A judge ordered the aspiring model to pay a $953 fine, complete 30 hours of community service, and participate in an alcohol-awareness class. The court will eventually dismiss the obstruction charges against Carroll and clear her record if she stays out of trouble.
The former Miss Washington USA runner-up allegedly asked a 31-year-old Mukilteo businessman to pay $2,000 for sex with her at a Bellevue hotel following a night of heavy drinking.
The man said he refused, but Carroll told police an altogether different story, saying he had drugged and then tried to rape her.

Federal prosecutors stopped investigating Copperfield for rape after learning of the alleged prostitution case, but they have not said whether that decision was linked with the Bellevue matter.
