Philip Young changes all pleas to guilty after initially denying charges of making indecent images of children
A former Conservative councillor who admitted nearly 50 offences of drugging, raping and sexually assaulting his former wife has pleaded guilty to additional offences of making indecent images of children.
Philip Young, 49, pleaded guilty in January at Winchester crown court to 11 counts of rape and 11 counts of administering a substance with intent to stupefy his former wife Joanne Young, 48, who has waived her right to anonymity.
At that time, he denied three charges of making indecent images of children and one count of possessing a prohibited image of a child in July 2024, and four charges of possessing an extreme pornographic image between January 2019 and January 2024.
But appearing via video link at Winchester crown court from HMP Winchester on Friday, Young changed all his pleas to guilty.
