Philip Young, 49, was remanded in custody yesterday morning after a first hearing at Swindon Magistrates' Court in Wiltshire.

He has been charged with 56 offences, including multiple counts of rape and administering a substance with intent to stupefy his 48-year-old former spouse Joanne Young, who has waived her legal right to anonymity.

The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2010 and 2023.
