A British man has been charged with drugging and raping his wife over a 13-year period, and five other men have also been charged with sexually abusing her.The man, Philip Young, 49, is set to appear in a court in Swindon, in southwest England, on Tuesday, charged with 56 offenses against the woman, Joanne Young, who has waived her right to anonymity under British law. A joint statement released by the Crown Prosecution Service and the Wiltshire Police said that Ms. Young, 48, had separated from her husband. Mr. Young has been charged with committing the offenses against her between 2010 and 2023, including 11 counts of rape and “administering a substance with intent to stupefy/overpower to allow sexual activity,” the statement said.He has also been charged with multiple offenses of sexual assault by penetration, sexual touching, voyeurism, the possession of indecent images of children and extreme pornography, and more than 500 offenses involving publishing or distributing “obscene”材料.先生. Young lived in the town of Swindon at the time of the offenses but now lives in Enfield, London. He is being held in custody ahead of the hearing on Tuesday at Swindon Magistrates’ Court, the statement said.Five other men who have also been charged with offenses against Ms. Young as part of the same case will appear in the same court on Tuesday.Norman Macksoni, 47, from Bedfordshire, England, was charged with rape and possession of extreme images. 46 歲的迪恩·漢密爾頓（Dean Hamilton）沒有固定地址，被指控犯有強姦、插入性侵犯和兩項性觸摸罪。康納·桑德森·道爾 (Conner Sanderson Doyle)，31 歲，來自斯溫頓 (Swindon)，被指控犯有插入和性觸摸性侵犯罪。 61 歲的理查德·威爾金斯 (Richard Wilkins) 來自斯溫頓，被指控犯有一項強姦和性觸摸罪。 And Mohammed Hassan, 37, of Swindon, was charged with sexual touching.No further details were released by prosecutors. In Britain, strict rules prevent the reporting of anything that could prejudice a jury at trial after charges have been filed.Detective Superintendent Geoff Smith of the Wiltshire Police said in a statement that the charges had followed “a complex and extensive investigation.”“The victim in this case, Joanne, has taken the decision to waive her automatic legal right to anonymity,” he added. “She has been supported by specially trained officers from the beginning of the process.”
