Doctor Strange actress Zara Phythian jailed for 8 years for historic sex abuse

Marvel actress Zara Phythian has been jailed for eight years for horrific child sex offences.

The Doctor Strange star appeared at Nottingham Crown Court for sentencing on Monday after she was found guilty by a jury of the historical sexual abuse of a girl who was aged between 13 and 15.

Phythian's husband Victor Marke, 59, was sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment for jointly abusing the same victim, as well as the indecent assault of a second girl.

Both will now sign the sex offenders' register for life, and will be referred to the disclosure and barring service to prevent them working with children ever again.

The depraved couple were brought into the dock together for their sentencing on Monday morning after their remand into custody last week following their guilty verdicts.

Marke cried as he saw people in the public gallery and paced around the dock in a tracksuit.
