A man has appeared in court accused of conspiring with other men to drug his wife and rape her while she was unconscious.
The man, in his 60s, from the Stockport area of Greater Manchester, also faces charges of raping and sexually assaulting his wife over a period of 20 years.
He was arrested last year, and on Friday pleaded not guilty to 48 separate charges, including multiple rapes and sexual assaults, at Manchester Minshull Street crown court.
He appeared in the dock alongside 12 other men, aged between 28 and 73, five of whom are from Stockport, three from elsewhere in Greater Manchester, one from Cheshire, and three from other parts of the UK.
