Alleged contact offenders who visited the couple’s home are taxi driver Wild; recruitment agency worker Sabir; building supplies employee Wallace, 31; industrial cleaning firm worker Keelan, 42; retiree Robert Stewart, 70; sheet metal worker Richard Townsend, 38; and senior paramedic Jonathan Kirk, 43.

The prosecution alleges two non-contact offenders, who “hid behind a screen” as they conspired to administer substances to the wife, are kitchen firm sales rep David Graves, 60 and self-employed mechanic Daniel Rayner, 42.

Stewart, of Stockport, denies rape, conspiracy to rape and conspiracy to administer a substance with intent.

Graves, of Ilkeston, Derbyshire, denies conspiracy to rape, conspiracy to assault by penetration and conspiracy to administer a substance with intent.

Wild denies sexual assault, attempted rape, assault by penetration and conspiracy to rape. Rayner denies conspiracy to rape, conspiracy to assault by penetration and conspiracy to administer a substance with intent.

Sabir denies rape and conspiracy to rape. Wallace denies rape and attempted rape. Keelan denies attempted rape and assault by penetration.

Townsend, of Heywood, Greater Manchester, denies assault by penetration. Kirk, of Stockport, denies rape and conspiracy to rape.

The offences are said to have taken place on dates between 2015 and 2025.

The husband, who cannot be identified to protect his wife’s anonymity, will be sentenced at a later date.

Four other men who pleaded guilty at earlier hearings to various offences linked to the case will also be sentenced later.

They are Keith Fotheringham, 59, of Dundee, Scotland; Karl Lindsay, 56, of Taunton, Somerset; Sean Peers, 38, of Stockport; and Graham Brougham, 74, of Northwich, Cheshire.
