  "summary": "A UK court has heard evidence that a man, in his 60s, drugged and raped his wife over a two-decade period, amassing \"over a million photographs and videos\" cataloguing the abuse on his phone. Prosecutors revealed that the husband allegedly invited strangers to participate in the abuse, sharing images and videos on the internet and social media with other like-minded men. The trial involves nine men accused of various sexual offences against the victim, with four of the defendants already pleading guilty. The case highlights the growing awareness of organised drug-facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) in Britain, following high-profile convictions in other countries.",
