UK: Man Guilty of 48 Charges of Drugging and Raping Ex-Wife

A former councilman in the UK, Philip Young, was found guilty today of nearly 50 charges, including rape, administering a substance with intent to commit sexual intercourse, and sexual assault, against his ex-wife, Joan Young, for over 10 years. Young pleaded guilty to the charges, and was also convicted of voyeurism and publishing indecent images of his ex-wife. Four other men have been charged with related acts, but pleaded not guilty. The trial is expected to begin in October.
