Ex-wife 'sexually assaulted by husband and five others'
The Independent
|December 23, 2025
A husband has been charged alongside a number of other men with committing more than 60 sexual offences against his wife, including multiple counts of rape and administering a substance with intent to stupefy.
Philip Young and five others are accused of carrying out multiple offences against Joanne Young, 48, between 2010 and 2023. Detective superintendent Geoff Smith of Wiltshire Police said: “This is a significant update in what is a complex and extensive investigation. The victim in this case, Joanne, has taken the decision to waive her automatic legal right to anonymity. She has been supported by specially trained officers from the beginning of the process, and she has made the decision following multiple discussions with officers and support services.”
Police have asked that Ms Young's privacy be respected at this time.
