Four British men went on trial on Tuesday for raping or sexually abusing a woman who had been advertised online, drugged and filmed by her then-husband, with prosecutors warning the jury that they would “see videos of things you cannot then unsee”.

Philip Young, 50, earlier this year pleaded guilty to several offences committed over more than a decade against his ex-wife Joanne Young, who has waived her legal right to anonymity.

Four other men who prosecutors say raped or sexually assaulted her between 2016 and 2023 are now standing trial at Winchester Crown Court for offences they allegedly committed with Philip Young.

Connor Sanderson-Doyle, 32, denies one count of sexual assault and one count of assault by penetration; Richard Wilkins, 62, denies one count of rape and one count of assault by penetration; Norman Macksoni, 48, denies one count of rape; and Mohammed Hassan, 38, denies one count of sexual assault.

“This case is, in effect, about whether it is ever reasonable to have sex or to begin to have sexual contact with an unknown woman without checking with her first,” prosecutor Sarah Jones said.

She said Philip Young posted images online of Joanne Young, tied to her bed and blindfolded, as he “sought strangers to come and sleep with his wife – any age, any race”.

“He presented it as a kink for both of them but there was no information from Joanne herself to support that,” Jones added.

Without Joanne Young’s knowledge or consent, Jones said, Philip Young had regularly drugged her and invited strangers who responded to online posts to have sex with her, watching and filming while it happened.

Police found those videos after an account linked to Philip Young posted bestiality images online in 2023 and his devices were seized.

Jones said that Joanne Young had consented to Philip Young’s preference for her to be blindfolded and restrained during sex, but one evening around 2023 woke up to discover a stranger was in the room.

Philip Young said on that occasion he had invited someone to watch the couple having sex, but after his arrest police found videos of strangers sexually assaulting or raping Joanne Young, the prosecutor said.

“You are going to see videos of things you cannot then unsee and may find you can’t forget,” Jones told the jury.

The trial is expected to last up to four weeks.

The Tories, Reform and Restore can't stand each other, but letting the Left win would be daft, argues Nick Rendell. Could fed-up swing voters force the Right's warring tribes to stop squabbling and get their act together?

The locking down of Gosport to protect illegal migrants shows beyond doubt that Britain is a two-tier state, says Paul Birch, where locals must produce ID while illegal migrants are escorted away in luxury coaches.

In this story for Dispatch, Lotte Brundle reports on a surprising trend: young women in the UK are pursuing careers in the death care industry. In a time of high unemployment, funeral home apprenticeships offer an alternative to university, where students accumulate significant debt. While the pay is low and the industry needs to do a better job building awareness that the trajectory exists, the young women who speak to Brundle find the work meaningful and rewarding.

Her inspiration to become an undertaker arrived, as many teenage epiphanies now do, via TikTok. Emily was 15 and had been considering becoming a teacher or journalist when she came across an American woman documenting life inside her own funeral home. “I’d never considered it as a career,” she says. “I didn’t know anyone who was an undertaker, but I just thought how interesting it was.”

Two hours later, she was still scrolling through the woman’s profile, engrossed. Running her own funeral home became Emily’s dream.

On September 3, 2026, Argentine President Javier Milei addressed the nation on the issue of the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands. This programmatic speech is noteworthy be-cause Milei had previously taken a more cautious position on the islands and advocated resolving the long-standing territorial dispute with the United Kingdom through diplomatic means. However, in this address, the […]

In late 2025, conservators from Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum brought an unassuming object to the Diamond Light Source synchrotron in Oxfordshire: a terret, a small bronze loop that Iron Age chariots used to keep a horse’s reins from tangling. It looked modest. It was nearly 2,000 years old. And under X-ray analysis, it turned out to […]

While posing as a defender of European security, Britain is in fact fuelling the fire: its military programmes and century-long partnership with Kyiv make peace with Moscow ever less attainable and militarise the continent for decades to come.
