Zara Phythian played the role of Brunette Zealot in the 2016 film Doctor Strange, which had actor Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role.
BBC News quoted the judge Mark Watson as telling Phythian during the
judgement, “Whilst you denied in cross-examination that you were besotted with
Victor Marke, on the evidence I have heard I am in no doubt that your deviance
was shaped by the influence that he had upon you from an early age.” The judge
also said that Marke was the “driving force behind the abuse”.
Zara Phythian and her husband Victor Marke had 14 allegations of s-xual activity with the then minor, from 2005 to 2008. The victim also claimed that the couple used to play a game of ‘dare’ with her, reported Nottinghamshire Post.
Phythian played the role of Brunette Zealot in Doctor Strange, which had actor
Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role. She also starred in Accident Man 2
(2022) and Tribal Get Out Alive (2020).
