British man admits drugging and raping wife over more than 2 decades
A British man on Monday admitted repeatedly drugging and raping his wife at their home over more than two decades, just before his trial was about to begin.
The man - from northern England who is in his 60s but cannot be named as it would identify his wife who is entitled to lifelong anonymity – pleaded guilty at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court to 45 charges, having previously admitted 15 offences.
The man has now admitted charges including 21 counts of rape, 15 counts of assault by penetration, 11 counts of sexual assault and one count of sharing intimate images without consent in a period between 2004 and 2025.
He has also admitted an offence of administering a substance in order to stupefy his wife.
