Voodoo dolls used in sex curse, court hears

Voodoo dolls, pornographic text messages and fetishes made from the hair and underpants of a woman sexually assaulted during a series of prayer session were used to convince her she was cursed, the District Court has heard.

The alleged victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told the court she had been raised a Greek Orthodox and taught by her parents that curses could be put on people causing ”generally just bad, bad things”.

It is alleged she was sexually assaulted during three prayer sessions conducted by the ”holy man’,’ Tony Golossian, in which she was given orange juice laced with Stilnox and had her eyes covered while Mr Golossian or another man had sex with her.
