A film actress has been jailed for the historic sexual abuse of a teenage girl.
Zara Phythian was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court after she and her martial arts boyfriend sexually abused a girl together. The actress, best known for her role in Marvel's Doctor Strange, are believed to have pre-planned the abuse of the girl.
Phythian, who featured in the 2016 Marvel movie Doctor Strange, and also runs a martial arts academy, was found guilty at Nottingham Crown Court of 14 counts of sexual activity with a child aged 13-15 committed between 2005 and 2008. Jurors also convicted the 37-year-old's husband, Victor Marke, 59, of the same 14 offences and indecent assault charges relating to another under-age girl he abused on at least eight occasions between 2002 and 2003.
