A man in his 60s, whose identity remains undisclosed, is on trial in Manchester, northwest England for drugging and raping his wife over two decades, according to prosecutor Louise Oakley. The court heard that the husband allegedly invited strangers to participate in the abuse, with over a million photos and videos cataloguing the abuse found on his phone, serving as a "confession booth" filled with "barbaric sexual fantasies" since 2004.
The prosecutor stated that the husband and 13 other men conspired to abuse the woman, who was drugged so they could be "used and abused." Four men have already pleaded guilty to various offences. The trial involves nine men aged between 28 and 70 who deny the charges, which include rape, sexual assault, and conspiracy to administer a substance with intent.
This case is the second in Britain where a man is accused of inviting others to take part in abusing his wife.
