Celebrity Psychic Accused of Sexual Assault

News summary

Peter MacDonald, a 77-year-old celebrity psychic healer, is accused of sexually assaulting a female client during a faith healing session at his home in Shaftesbury, Dorset. The victim, who sought MacDonald's help after personal setbacks, alleged that he instructed her to strip naked under the guise of spiritual healing and applied a 'special oil' before indecently assaulting her. MacDonald, known for name-dropping celebrity clients like Robbie Williams and Dua Lipa, allegedly used manipulative spiritual claims to gain the victim's trust. Despite being found unfit to stand trial due to a cancer diagnosis and mental health deterioration, a jury concluded in a fact-finding exercise that MacDonald committed the acts of sexual assault. The victim reported the incident after feeling 'under a spell' and unable to resist during the session. This case has been adjourned for two weeks awaiting a doctor's note, with the judge acknowledging the unusual circumstances and the victim's need for closure.
