A British man approximately 60 years old, living in Stockport, near Manchester, England, confessed to having committed crimes against his own wife for about 20 years. According to Greater Manchester Police, he systematically drugged and raped her during this period. The accused's name was not disclosed to preserve the victim's identity.

The man had previously pleaded guilty to 15 charges. On Monday, he admitted to 45 more charges, bringing the total to 60 crimes for which he pleaded guilty. Among the new charges are 16 rapes, seven sexual assaults, one charge of administering substances with intent, and one charge of sharing intimate photos or videos.

The suspect was arrested by British police last year. The case also involves other parties, as indicated by the investigations, although details about these other participants were not specified in the article.
