POLICY WIRE — England, UK — A legal trial has commenced for nine men accused of participating in the sexual assault of a woman who was systematically drugged and abused by her husband.
Prosecutors alleged during the proceedings that the husband maintained a double life, hiding behind a facade of respectability while orchestrating the abuse over more than twenty years.
The court heard that the man regularly administered a stupefying cocktail of drugs to his wife to ensure she remained unconscious and unaware of the assaults occurring around her.
>p>During this prolonged period, the husband allegedly invited strangers into their family home to sexually assault the drugged wife.
Evidence presented to the court revealed that the husband possessed a phone containing over one million photographs and videos documenting the decades of sexual violence.
The victim’s life was reportedly upended when law enforcement visited her residence to reveal that her husband had been drugging and raping her for the twenty years.
