A husband and wife face more charges in a case that contains allegations of sexual assault and satanic rituals that include shackling, caging and depriving a man of food and water.

Joseph Scott Craig, 25, and Joy Suzanne Johnson, 30, both of 2305 Albany St., appeared in Durham County court Wednesday on the new charges.

Johnson resigned this week as third vice chairwoman of the Durham County Democratic Party and vice chairwoman of the Young Democrats.

The charges stem from accusations of sexual assault and kidnapping by a woman who listed the couple's home as her address.

The only details available so far are in arrest warrants.

The incidents, according to warrants, occurred in December 2007 and in January and May.

Craig, a dispatcher at Allied Waste Industries, has been charged with second-degree rape, second-degree forcible sexual offense, three counts of second-degree kidnapping and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. Two of the kidnapping charges were filed Tuesday.

Charges of aiding and abetting filed against Johnson on Tuesday reveal new details of what the woman in the house alleged.

The warrants accuse Johnson of "instigating and encouraging" her husband as he handcuffed a man and forced him "into a dog cage, leaving him there for hours, terrorizing him."

The previous Friday, Johnson was charged with two other counts of aiding and abetting.
