New sexual assault charges made in Wiltshire wife abuse trial
Joanne Young was abused consistently over a 13-year period at her home
Prosecutors have added an extra charge against one of the four men accussed of abusing a woman advertised for sex by her husband.
Joanne Young was repeatedly drugged and sexually abused by her husband Philip Young at their Swindon home over the course of 13 years.
Philip pleaded guilty to the 56 counts against him, with another four men on trial, accused of sexually abusing Joanne over the same time period.
Of these 56 charges, several included rape charges, as well as making and possessing indecent images of children.
One accused man, Mohammed Hassan - also from Swindon - pleaded not guilty to sexual assaulting Joanne in February 2023, which is now the second charge he faces; he is also accused of sexual touching Joanne on the same date.
Sarah Jones KC, prosecuting, had previously told the trial at Winchester Crown Court that Joanne had been tied up and blindfolded during her alleged enounter with Hassan.
Jones claimed that while having sex with her husband, Joanne had allegedly become aware of a second person in the room, touching her arm to try and stop her to remove the restraints she had been wearing at the time.
After taking the blindfold off, she claimed she saw two men duck down underneath the bed. Speaking earlier at the trial, Young said: "I was obviously really shocked because you don't expect someone else to be in your bedroom.
"Phil said to the person, 'Get down' and the person ducked at the end of the bed."
Mohammed Hassan, 38, denies both charges of sexual assault against him. The other three men on trial - Norman Macksoni, 48; Connor Sanderson-Doyle, 32; and Richard Wilkins, 62 - have all pleaded not guilty to their charges.
However, a sixth defendant - 47-year-old Dean Hamilton - admitted to one charge of assault by penetration, one of rape and two of sexual assault.
The trial continues at Winchester Crown Court.
