A woman accused of using black
magic to abuse a child, and her husband, who raped the child as she held her
down, have been found guilty of all charges by a jury at Cardiff Crown
Court.
Carolee Hickman, 64, was on trial for indecently assaulting a
schoolgirl and holding the victim down while her husband Albert John Hickman,
65, raped her during the 1970s.
She had been accused of grooming and
abusing the young schoolgirl when they lived in South Wales at the time, after
petrifying her with black magic threats.
The couple, both of the Wheatlands,
Baschurch, Shrewsbury, were found guilty on all counts....
“Carolee said
she was a witch and would come and get me and would make my mother ill,” the
victim said.
“She even said she could kill my mother if she wanted
to.
“She had a knife with a jewelled handle kept in a wooden box with
carvings on the top.
“She cut my hand and sucked the blood out of
it.
“There were tarot cards, she used to tell our fortunes and she even had a
black cape.”....
A large number of books on spells and the occult were
found when officers arrested the grandmother and her husband at their home in
Shropshire.....
Carolee Hickman told police they separated while he was
serving 10 years (reduced to eight on appeal), and she five years for child sex
offences, which they had been convicted of in 1982 in Northampton....
Mr
Hickman was sentenced for five sex offences and Mrs Hickman for indecent assault
and for aiding and abetting another man to rape a 14 year old girl as part of a
devil worship ritual.
