Summary
Sixty offences were admitted at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, where the man pleaded guilty to multiple counts including rape, assault by penetration and administering a substance with intent.
The offending spanned back to 2004 and centered on allegations that he drugged and raped his wife without her knowledge during a marriage that lasted decades.
The woman watched from the public gallery with family support as the defendant, a man in his sixties who cannot be named to protect her anonymity, became visibly emotional while entering the pleas.
Twelve other men still deny serious sexual offences against the same woman, while a 13th man has already admitted offences; the husband's sentencing will come after that wider trial concludes in the coming weeks.
