Husband drugged wife to be raped by other men

A case in Manchester involves a man who drugged his wife to facilitate sexual assaults by other men, using a dating site to arrange encounters. The husband has pleaded guilty to over 60 crimes, including rape, committed over two decades. Nine men are currently on trial for their involvement, with accusations ranging from direct participation to encouraging the acts online. The case was uncovered in 2025 after journalists infiltrated a Telegram group. Similarities have been drawn to a notorious French case involving Gisèle Pelicot, where her husband orchestrated similar abuses.
