6 British men charged with more than 60 sexual assault offences against same woman

Six British men, including a woman's former husband, were charged with more than 60 sexual offences against her over 13 years, U.K. prosecutors said on Monday.

Philip Young, 49, faces 56 charges, including multiple counts of rape, administering a substance with intent to stupefy or overpower to allow sexual activity, and voyeurism, the Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement.

Young, also charged with possession of indecent images of children and other extreme images, has been remanded into custody and is due to appear at Swindon Magistrates' Court, about 130 kilometres west of London, on Tuesday, the statement said.

While British law automatically protects the identity of the victims of sexual crimes, Joanne Young, 48, has voluntarily waived this right.

"She has asked to be named in this press release and is being supported by specially trained officers and partner agencies," the agencies said in their statement.

The other men charged are Norman Macksoni, 47, Dean Hamilton, 46, Conner Sanderson Doyle, 31, Richard Wilkins, 61, and Mohammed Hassan, 37, the CPS said. They have been released on bail and are also due to appear in court.

Very similar to the case in France. I hope the court puts these guys away for a LONG time. What a bunch of......words fail me.

Only 9 of the 12 jurors have to vote "Guilty" for a conviction.
