Jailed Doctor Strange star Zara Phythian ‘in isolation for her own safety’ & plans to appeal child sex abuse sentence
JAILED Doctor Strange star Zara Phythian has been put in isolation “for her own safety” and plans to appeal her sentence, a family member has said.
The Hollywood actress and her vile husband were jailed after abusing a teen girl during a three-year reign of terror.
Phythian, who starred with Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange, plied the vulnerable girl, aged between 13 and 15, with rum.
Now a family member of Phythian has claimed she has been placed in isolation in Foston Hall Prison, in Derbyshire, reports

They claimed: “She's in a really bad way and been kept in isolation for her own safety before being moved to a single cell.
“Guards are doing hourly checks on her because she has been close to a nervous breakdown.
“Her father Andy is desperate to see her but has to wait to get his visitors pass.
“She's been crying down the phone to him and is not in a good way.”
Along with husband Victor Marke, the 36-year-old abused the teen "once or twice a month" from 2005 and threatened her to keep her quiet.

Martial arts and Taekwondo "master" Marke, 59, had sex with the complainant about 20 times on different occasions.
Marke, who was also convicted of four counts of indecent assault on another girl, between 2002 and 2003, was jailed for 14 years while Phythian received eight years.
Phythian, 36, met martial arts and Taekwondo "master" Marke, 59, when she was aged 19 and he was still married.
They were even friends with another “evil and twisted” paedophile who raped a teenage girl in an almost identical case.
Video shows Phythian training with kickboxing instructor Paul Drury, 57, in 2008 - seven years before he was jailed.
The fiend raped a girl shortly before her 13th birthday at his home and at the Black Belt Academy he ran in Dawlish.
Just two years after meeting Marke, Phythian's "deviance" had been shaped by her husband - described as the "driving force" behind the horror.
Aged just 20 herself, Phythian abused the young girl's trust in her to lure her to the marital home after they "pre-planned" the abuse.
Once there, she was given rum before being asked by the actress - also a martial arts expert - if she wanted to play "dares".
She then began performing a sex act on her husband before asking the victim to do the same.
Marke then "took it in turns" to have sex with them both.

Sickeningly, the couple would attempt to re-create porn they watched together with the girl while filming the abuse.
Their abuse may have remained a chilling secret forever if Marke hadn't abused a second girl to "satisfy his sexual urges".
