British man admits drugging and raping wife over more than two decades
He admitted drugging and raping his wife over 20 years, bringing the total charges to 60, prosecutors said.
- On Monday, a British man pleaded guilty to 60 charges at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, including rape, for drugging and sexually assaulting his wife at their home over more than 20 years.
- Prosecutors stated the man repeatedly drugged his wife, leaving her unconscious, before sexually assaulting her, including 21 counts of rape and 15 counts of assault by penetration.
- The husband, in his 60s, became emotional during proceedings at the court, repeating guilty to dozens of charges while his wife watched from the public gallery supported by family.
- A dozen other men, aged 28 to 74, face separate charges for sexually abusing the same victim from 2018 until 2025, though all 12 defendants have denied the allegations.
- Their trial is expected to take several months at the same court. Reporting by Reuters notes the husband cannot be named to protect his wife's legal right to lifelong anonymity.
