Man Pleads Guilty to Assaulting Woman Drugged by Her Husband

Sean Peers, 38, entered a guilty plea for assault by penetration after being charged with raping a woman whose husband had drugged her without her knowledge. The abuse took place at the couple's family home in the Stockport area of Greater Manchester. The husband, whose name is not disclosed to safeguard the victim's anonymity, had already admitted to 60 offences against his wife and was alleged to have recruited 13 additional men for the assault.

The latest charges relate to events that occurred during the previous summer. Peers was due to stand trial at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court before pleading. The case highlights a complex pattern of coordinated sexual abuse within a domestic setting.
