Seven men and four women have appeared in court accused of operating a child sex ring involving witchcraft, satanic séances and animal sacrifice.
The claims of abuse centre on two girls and a boy who were allegedly raped while some of the group clapped, cheered and verbally encouraged the attack. It is said to have been filmed.
One of the girls shut in a microwave during an attempt to kill her and the children were forced to take part in séances and kill animals, prosecutors said.
The offences allegedly took place between January 2010 and March 2020 in the Townhead, Maryhill and Craigend areas of Glasgow.
The defendants deny all charges. They are Iain Owens, 43, Elaine Lannery, 38, Lesley Williams, 40, Paul Brannan, 40, Marianne Gallagher, 37, Scott Forbes, 49, Barry Watson, 46, Mark Carr, 49, Richard Gachagan, 44, Leona Laing, 50, and John Clark, 46.
