OLD COUPLE USED DEVIL WORSHIP TO TERRIFY GIRL TO TAKE SEX SESSION

A couple accused of using Devil Worship to terrify a schoolgirl who was raped and regularly abused were jailed years later for sexually abusing other children in black magic rituals.

Carolee and Albert Hickman are jointly on trial accused of sex abuses on a child victim so traumatic she suppressed all memory of them for almost four decades.

Now aged 52 the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claims she was petrified of Hickman's supposed powers.
Hickman, 64, is accused of preying on the Bridgend schoolgirl, convincing her she was a witch in a powerful coven linked to devil worship.
The child sex abuse allegedly began in the early 1970s, when the girl was aged 11.

Hickman was a housewife and her husband, now aged 65, was then an RAF mechanic at nearby St Athan.
He denies a single charge of rape. His wife denies aiding and abetting him and denies three counts of indecent assault.

Both have already been jailed for a string of child sex assaults in which black magic rituals played a part, Cardiff Crown Court heard.

Hickman was jailed for 10 years, reduced to eight on appeal, at Northampton Crown Court in 1982, after admitting five child sex abuse charges.
His wife was jailed for five years for a series of five similar charges including aiding and abetting him.

Both claim they have no memory of the schoolgirl, now a married mother, in the present case.
