Ex-Tory councillor who drugged and raped wife admits making child abuse images

Philip Young changes all pleas to guilty after initially denying charges of making indecent images of children

A former Conservative councillor who admitted nearly 50 offences of drugging, raping and sexually assaulting his former wife has pleaded guilty to additional offences of making indecent images of children.

Philip Young, 49, pleaded guilty in January at Winchester crown court to 11 counts of rape and 11 counts of administering a substance with intent to stupefy his former wife Joanne Young, 48, who has waived her right to anonymity.
