A court in the German city of Aachen has sentenced a man to eight-and-a-half years in prison for repeatedly drugging and raping his wife, filming the acts and then posting them online.
The man, named only as Fernando P in line with German privacy laws, was found guilty of aggravated rape, grievous bodily harm and violation of personal privacy.
The court found the 61-year-old, who is originally from Spain, guilty of sedating and raping his wife at their home for a period of several years from 2018 to 2024.
A spokesperson for the court, Katharina Effert, said the man also filmed the abuse and shared it online.
"He uploaded videos of these acts to chat groups and internet platforms, making them available to other users," she said.
