Woman woke up to see stranger invited into bedroom by husband, court hears

Key Points:

• Joanne Young described waking up restrained and blindfolded in her home, sometimes unaware of how she came to be in that state, and recounted incidents where strangers were present, arranged by her husband Philip Young.
• Philip Young allegedly advertised Joanne on dating and swinging websites, presenting the situation as consensual "kink," though Joanne stated their marriage was originally monogamous and she was often left feeling shocked and terrified.
• Philip Young has pleaded guilty to multiple abuse charges, while four men invited into the home by him are on trial for sexually assaulting Joanne Young between 2016 and 2023.
• Recorded police interviews revealed Joanne's trauma, including an incident where she found a stranger in her bedroom and another where she woke terrified after her husband suggested having someone else present during sex.
• The trial continues as the four men deny the charges, and Philip Young awaits sentencing following his guilty plea.
