A German man spent years drugging and raping his wife without her knowledge – then posted videos of his crimes in group chats.
The person, named only as Fernando P, 61, will spend eight-and-a-half years behind bars after he was accused of crimes spanning 15 years and he was convicted of offences between 2018 and 2024.
In line with CNN, the court said he violated ‘probably the most intimate sphere of personal life and of private rights through image recordings in 34 cases, including in 4 cases in concurrence with aggravated rape and dangerous bodily harm’.
The rapist was also convicted of aggravated sexual coercion and sexual assault charges.
The court said in a press release that he ‘repeatedly secretly sedated and sexually abused his wife within the marital home’.
It also said he ‘filmed the acts and made the recordings available to other users in group chats and on web platforms’.
The defendant was acquitted on another charges – nevertheless the court has not released details about what these were.
He has one week to appeal the judgement.
CNN reports the horrific case has been likened to that of Dominique Pelicot.
One yr ago his wife Gisele, 73, broke her silence how her husband drugged and invited scores of men to rape her while unconscious over the course of 10 years.
Fifty-one men were jailed for his or her role within the decade-long abuse.
Addressing the gang outside the court in Avignon following the trial, she said: ‘I’m considering of all the opposite families affected by this tragedy and all of the unrecognised victims. We share the identical fight.’
Gisele said she felt ‘very emotional’ and was considering of her children and her grandchildren who stood beside her because the verdicts of her 51 abusers were read out.
‘For them [Gisele’s children and grandchildren] I desired to put this struggle forward,’ she said, adding that she never regretted selecting to waver her anonymity.
Her husband was found guilty of repeatedly drugging and raping his wife for nearly a decade – and welcoming dozens of strangers to rape her.
He was handed a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for his crimes.
