Philip Young, 49, has been charged with 56 sexual offences, including multiple counts of rape and administering a substance with intent to stupefy. The allegations span 13 years and involve his ex-wife, Joanne Young, who has waived her right to anonymity.

He was charged alongside five other men and is due to appear in court on 23 December 2025.

Wiltshire Police described the investigation as complex and extensive, with Detective Superintendent Geoff Smith calling the update significant.

Joanne Young has received support from specially trained officers from the outset, with decisions made following consultations with officers and support services.
