In this episode we hear about another defendant who has changed their plea to guilty. It’s been over six weeks since the jury was first sworn in at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court. In summary, a husband, in his 60s, from Stockport in Greater Manchester has pleaded guilty to a total of 62 charges against his wife, including raping his wife and sharing intimate images of her without her consent. He will now not be part of the trial. We are not reporting the husband's name to protect his wife’s legal right to lifetime anonymity

Originally 13 other men were charged with serious sexual offences against the same victim. Three of those men have pleaded guilty to sexually abusing her. Keith Fotheringham, who’s 59 and from Dundee in Scotland - admitted his guilt earlier this year. More recently 38 year old Sean Peers from Stockport changed his plea, pleading guilty to assault by penetration and now 74 year old Graham Brougham, from Northwich in Cheshire has changed his plea, pleading guilty to rape. They will all be sentenced at a later date.

The 10 remaining defendants all deny any wrong-doing.
