SHOCKING! Doctor Strange Actor Zara Phythian And Beau Husband Accused Of Sexually Abusing 13-year-old Girl-REPORTS
Zara Phythian and her husband Victor Marke are reportedly facing 14 charges of sexual activity with a child in the United Kingdom
In a rather shocking turn of events, Doctor Strange actor Zara Phythian and her husband Victor Marke have been accused of grooming and sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl.
The couple is reportedly facing 14 charges of sexual activity with a child in the United Kingdom. In a police interview played at Nottingham Crown Court, the BBC reported, the woman alleged that the sexual abuse began in 2005, when she was 13, and continued until she was 15.
The victim has not been identified publicly and officials have stated that she is in her late 20s, as testified in the court on Thursday.
Phythian and Marke have denied the allegations. The couple and their representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The woman looked up to Phythian, she said in the police interview, according to the BBC.
"I knew it was wrong, but I just didn't know how to get out of the situation or say anything," the woman said in the police interview. "I remember trying to copy Zara's reaction at the time, because I looked up to her and tried to be like her in any way."
She has also alleged that the abuse began when Phythian provided her with alcohol and persuaded her to have oral sex with Marke. She also testified of that she felt as though Phythian "coached" her to "get better at the sexual activity," the Nottingham Post reported.
In the police interview, the woman also said Marke threatened to harm her if she told anyone about the alleged abuse, the BBC reported.
Phythian and Marke were not married at the time of the alleged abuse. Phythian was 20 or 21, and Marke would have been 42 or 43.
