A British man in his 60s has admitted to repeatedly drugging and raping his wife over a period of more than two decades, just before his trial was set to begin. The man pleaded guilty at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court to 45 charges, including 21 counts of rape, 15 counts of assault by penetration, 11 counts of sexual assault, and one count of sharing intimate images without consent.
Prosecutors revealed that the woman was repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted in their home while unconscious due to her husband's administration of a substance. A dozen other men, aged between 28 and 74, are also charged with sexually abusing the victim from 2018 to 2025, though they have all pleaded not guilty. Their trial is scheduled to commence at the same court and is anticipated to last several months.
