Philip Young, 49, has been charged with 56 sexual offences, including multiple rapes and administering substances to incapacitate his ex-wife, Joanne Young, 48, over a 13-year period from 2010 to 2023. He has been remanded in custody and is set to appear at Swindon Magistrates’ Court. Five other men—Norman Macksoni, Dean Hamilton, Conner Sanderson Doyle, Richard Wilkins, and Mohammed Hassan—have also been charged with various sexual offences against Joanne, including rape and sexual assault, and were released on bail.
