Woman felt stranger's hand while blindfolded as husband brought uninvited guest
Joanne Young discovered an unfamiliar hand on her wrist while blindfolded during sex, realizing her husband had secretly invited someone to watch.
Joanne Young was blindfolded and restrained when she felt a hand on her wrist that did not belong to her husband Philip Young. Joanne Young loosened her restraints, removed her blindfold, and saw someone at the foot of the bed.
Joanne Young ran to the bathroom and locked the door. Later, her husband admitted he had invited someone to watch them have sex after browsing online forums.
She told police it was deeply intrusive and upsetting. 'He knows I would have never said yes to that,' she said.
Young has admitted drugging and raping her over many years. Four other men are on trial for their role in the abuse at Winchester Crown Court.
