According to the BBC, the abuse took place between 2005 and 2008, when the victim was between 13 and 15 years old. The applicant testified in Nottingham High Court and revealed that as the defendants were martial arts instructors she admired them for their work in this discipline.
The first abuse apparently occurred after the couple gave her alcohol and Phythian challenged her to perform oral sex on Marke. “I knew it was wrong, but I just didn’t know how to get out of the situation or say anything. I remember trying to copy Zara’s reaction, because I looked up to her and tried to be like her in every way,” she said.
The abuse continued and the woman even claimed that Marke threatened to “break her kneecaps” if she told anyone. “He just said no one would believe me if she told me. They always had power over me,” she said.
Phythian and Marke face 14 counts of sexual activity with a minor. Marke is also charged with four additional counts of assaulting another woman who reported the incident to police.
In addition to having worked in Doctor StrangePhythian has also participated as an actress in productions such as The Dark Kingdom, Street Blood, Transit 17 either Tribal Get Out Alive. His filmography as an action stuntman includes productions such as Macbeth, Morgan Y Curfew.
