英国一男子下药侵害妻子逾20年：9名被指参与的男子在曼彻斯特受审
英国曼彻斯特 Minshull Street 刑事法庭11月2日开庭审理一宗性侵案：9名男子被指参与或协助侵害一名女子。检方指控，该女子的丈夫在20多年间持续给她下药并实施侵害，还邀其他男子到家中参与；9名被告否认全部指控。
检方律师 Louise Oakley 在开案陈词中说，这名60多岁的丈夫住在 Stockport，为保护妻子隐私不能公布其姓名。他起初趁妻子饮酒后沉睡时下手，后来越来越频繁地在她不知情的情况下给她服用多种镇静药物，令她在侵害过程中始终昏迷不醒。两人相伴44年，育有两名子女。
检方说，丈夫把侵害过程拍照、录像，保存在其手机中的相关照片与视频超过100万份，并通过网络群组与一个交友网站结识其他男子、分享这些影像；自2023年起，他开始邀其他男子到家中。2025年10月，警方来到这对夫妇家中时，妻子才得知自己20多年来的遭遇。丈夫已于今年9月承认约60项罪名，包括强奸、性侵与投放药物，现被羁押、等待量刑；另有4名男子已在先前程序中认罪。
受审的9名男子年龄在28岁至70岁之间，其中7人被指曾到这对夫妇家中参与侵害，全部9人均否认强奸、性侵等指控。案件审理预计持续约3个月，目前仍在进行中。
这是英国近期第二宗同类案件：上周，另一宗丈夫下药侵害妻子、4名男子涉案的案件在 Winchester 开庭。这类有组织下药性侵案件，在法国 Dominique Pelicot 侵害妻子 Gisèle Pelicot 一案定罪后受到广泛关注。
Nine Men on Trial in Manchester Over Abuse of a Woman Drugged by Her Husband for More Than 20 Years
Nine men went on trial at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester, England, on November 2, accused of taking part in or helping to facilitate the abuse of a woman whose husband, prosecutors say, drugged and sexually assaulted her for more than two decades and invited other men to their home. All nine deny the charges.
Opening the case, prosecutor Louise Oakley KC told the court that the husband, a man in his 60s from Stockport who cannot be named to protect his wife's identity, first took advantage of occasions when his wife had drunk enough to fall into a deep sleep, and later, more and more frequently over a period of more than 20 years, gave her a cocktail of stupefying drugs without her knowledge so that she would not wake up during the abuse. The couple had been together for 44 years and have two children.
Prosecutors said the husband filmed and photographed the abuse, keeping more than a million photographs and videos on his phone, and shared the images with other men he met in online groups and on a swinging website; from 2023, he began inviting men to the couple's home. His wife learned of the abuse only in October 2025, when police came to the house. The husband pleaded guilty in September to about 60 offences, including rape, sexual assault and administering a substance with intent, and remains in custody awaiting sentencing; four other men have already pleaded guilty.
The nine defendants, aged between 28 and 70, include seven accused of visiting the couple's home. They deny charges including rape and sexual assault. The trial is expected to last about three months and continues.
It is the second case of its kind currently before the British courts: a trial involving four men opened in Winchester last week in a similar case of a husband drugging his wife. Organised drug-facilitated sexual assault drew global attention after the conviction in France of Dominique Pelicot, who drugged and raped his then wife Gisèle Pelicot alongside strangers he recruited online.
