A woman's husband left her after he received pornographic images of her taken during "prayer sessions" to rid her of black magic curses, a jury has been told.
The woman was videoed during a sexual encounter after allegedly being told she must do it or "your sister will not make it home safely tonight, she will be in a big accident", Sydney's District Court was told on Tuesday.
Prosecutor Sarah Huggett said the terrified woman was told over the phone by a "demonic sounding" voice of a man claiming to be King Rasoul that she "must look happy" and not cry during the video.
Ms Huggett was outlining the Crown's case against Tony Golossian, 62, Arthur Psichogios, 40, and his wife, Frances Psichogios, 38.
Golossian has pleaded not guilty to 42 charges and Arthur Psichogios to 27 charges, mainly relating to sex offences against two women from 2001 to 2008.
Francis Psichogios has denied eight charges relating to the second woman.
Ms Huggett said Golossian conducted "prayer sessions" in motels when he or Psichogios sexually assaulted the blindfolded complainants who believed the black magic curses placed on them would be removed.
Instructions were given to the women in phone calls by "King Rasoul", whom Ms Huggett said was either one of the two accused men or some third unknown person acting on their behalf.
After the videoed encounter with Psichogios, King Rasoul phoned the woman saying: "Arthur's body is not coping with my power, the curse is very strong ... you must pick someone else to have sex with".
When she protested and was told it should be a threesome, King Rasoul told the frightened woman: "I will stop your heart right now if you speak to me like this".
In another call with King Rasoul, a different high pitched voice came on saying: "I am Queen Snake, because you don't agree with what the angels want, you have given me all the power".
Ms Huggett said that when Arthur Psichogios was arrested police found in his pocket some audio files on his phone which included a "demonic voice of Queen Snake".
After the woman changed jobs and phone numbers, a colleague took a phone message from a "King Rasoul" and her husband received "graphic pornographic images" of her, Ms Huggett said.
The husband then left the woman, who was six to eight weeks pregnant.
Ms Huggett said the second complainant was drugged and blindfolded during her three motel "prayer sessions" when sex took place.
Frances Psichogios allegedly drove the woman to the sessions and was then present either in the motel room or bathroom.
The woman and her husband had believed a black magic curse had been put on them and had trusted Golossian to remove it through sessions, Ms Huggett said.
When the husband rang up Golossian and Francis Psichogios to say his wife said she had been raped, he allegedly was assured it had been a "dream".
Ms Huggett said the three accused also conned $50,000 out of the husband, after Golossian told him it was for someone the husband had "sinned against" and if he did not pay he would have to leave his family and become a monk.
The trial is continuing before Judge Penelope Hock.
Ummm...
