A British man in his sixties from northern England pleaded guilty on Monday to more than 60 offences, including rape and administering a substance with intent. The admissions were made just before his trial was scheduled to begin.

The offences involved repeatedly drugging and sexually assaulting his wife at their home over a period spanning more than two decades.

Legal restrictions prevent the naming of the defendant to protect the lifelong anonymity of his victim.
