Man who drugged and raped wife found many men ‘whose fantasy is an unconscious woman’, court told

A court in Manchester heard that a Stockport man who drugged, raped and sexually assaulted his wife personally recruited many of the men who participated in or encouraged the abuse at the couple's home. Nine men are on trial at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, accused of either taking part in the abuse or encouraging it online. The case centers on the husband's targeting of men whose "fantasy is an unconscious and unresponsive woman," according to testimony reported in court. The trial is ongoing, with proceedings expected to establish the roles of each of the nine defendants and the extent of the online encouragement. Further testimony and evidence are expected as the prosecution continues its case.
