Four Men Claim Consent in Trial Over Drugged Wife Assault

The four defendants told the court they believed the encounter was consensual, saying the couple’s online advertisement suggested a kink scenario, as the trial proceeded at Winchester Crown Court. Earlier, a 14-person jury was selected for the case and former councillor Philip Young had pleaded guilty to drugging his wife, Joanne Young. During the trial, Joanne Young testified that she was blindfolded, restrained and assaulted by men her husband allegedly invited into their home, and video evidence was shown illustrating the assaults.
