The Raleigh News & Observer is reporting that one of the defendants charged in the bizarre rape-and-abuse Satanic sex case in Durham, North Carolina has had her bail significantly reduced by a Superior Court judge.
A judge ruled late Thursday afternoon that Joy Suzanne Johnson, 3rd Vice-Chair of the Durham County Democratic Party, will have her bail set at $75,000. Johnson's bail was originally set at $300,000.
Johnson is charged with aiding and abetting her husband's alleged scheme to lure unsuspecting couples into bondage and slavery, subjecting them to being caged up like animals, and engaging in physical, emotional, and sexual abuse while depriving them of food and water.
The couple faced their accusers in court earlier in the week as allegations were made of Satanic rituals and channeling demons.
A district court judge ruled that there is probable cause for the case to proceed to trial.
Johnson's husband, Joseph Scott Craig, is charged with 2 counts of assault with a deadly weapon, 3 counts of 2nd-degree kidnapping, 2nd-degree rape, and 2nd-degree forcible sexual offense.

Durham Torture Chamber: House of Horrors
From the outside the house appears to be just like any other house you would find in a typical neighborhood in the U.S. But inside that house was a virtual torture chamber, a house of horrors.
Dog cages where human beings were placed for days and given no food or water.
Chains with which human beings were tied to beds for days at a time without any access to human sustenance.
Cable wires that were used to beat and whip human beings.
And canes that were used to sexually assault and rape unsuspecting victims.
All of these things, according to police reports, were done while the perpetrators screamed verbal abuses at the victims even while they were being abused physically and sexually.
These details are gradually coming to the surface concerning the Durham Democratic Party-Satanic sex scandal. It is still not clear that the alleged perpetrators, Joy Johnson (a top official in the Durham Democratic Party) and her husband Joseph Scott Craig, Jr. are members of a Satanic cult.
Although the warrants indicate that the ritualistic sexual abuse resulted from the couple's involvement in devil-worship, other sources indicate that the couple belong to the Wiccan religion, which in no way involves the worship of Satan.
Wiccans are normally harmless persons who practice a religion related to the ancient beliefs of pagans whose spirituality arose from highlighting their connection to the earth. Wiccans do not believe in Satan, however, and thus, it would be difficult to imagine a person of the Wiccan religion being involved in Satan-worship.
These details have not yet been clarified by the local Durham law enforcement officials.
But we do know that if the allegations of the accusers are true, then what took place at the home of Joy Johnson and Joseph Scott Craig is like a living nightmare one normally finds only in the movies.
One other person has been charged in the case--Diana Palmer, first Vice-Chair of the Durham Democratic Party. Police have not disclosed as to whether or not other arrests can be expected.
