A psychic who claimed he could draw out bad spirits ‘sexually assaulted’ his female client during a ‘spiritual healing session’, a court was told.

Pete MacDonald, 77, is said to have gained the woman’s trust with a tarot card reading before she returned for a psychic healing session.

It is alleged that MacDonald, who was wearing a kaftan – an ankle length garment with long sleeves common in the Middle East – got her to lie on his bed, take off her top and then ran his hands up and down her body.

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claims she was sexually assaulted by MacDonald and that he touched her breasts and put his hand down her underwear.

The court heard how the woman, who ‘trusted’ him ‘entirely’, by the end of the incident had ‘temporarily lost her ability to think straight’.

MacDonald has been judged fit to stand trial and instead the jury undertake a fact-finding exercise to decide if he ‘did the acts’. 

MacDonald’s website claims he is one of the world’s leading psychics with more than 30 years’ experience and the ‘person other spiritual teachers consult when they themselves need guidance.’

Prosecuting, Paul Fairley, prosecuting, told Bournemouth Crown Court that the woman first went to see MacDonald for her tarot cards to be read at his home in Shaftesbury, Dorset.

He said: ‘Whatever answers he came up with, it resonated very closely with [the complainant] to the point very quickly she trusted him. He could tell things, know things, about her.

‘When it was suggested, she come back in the future for a psychic healing she was quite excited about the prospect.’

Mr Fairley said she returned with her sister on August 29, 2021, and again had her cards read.

He said: ‘Once again he got it right, hitting the nail on the head with things she had in her past. She got very upset during the course of the reading. He said this would all be made better with the healing session.
