The head of something or other at the SAM published a letter in the fall that they were cutting ties with David Oliver.

Is this the same David Oliver who had the bird-related lung infection and subsequent lung transplant?

Awful news. Somehow it's harder to take when someone is really good at what they do, as Cosby was. Oliver was a fine, fine magician.

Re: David Oliver Arrested for Alleged Child Sexual Assault
Nick Diffatte is reporting:
“ I’m glad David Oliver got what he had coming and has admitted in court to being a pedophile and abuser. I’m glad the victims were finally heard. To everyone who defended him for years and protected him… stop. It’s over. Leave him in the dust. Let’s move forward and be a better magic community, especially for young people interested in the hobby.”

David Oliver Pleads Guilty to Child Sexual Assault
Looking for more information. I heard that it appears he will not serve time: just be on probation. I've been told he's extremely ill.

Lucky for him. Convicts tend to mete out their own justice for that particular offense.
