## Key points

- Husband admitted 62 offences, including rapes of his wife.
- Prosecutors say he shared abuse material with contacts in Britain and abroad.
- Nine men are on trial over alleged sexual offences against the woman.

## Summary

The court trying nine men accused of sexual offences heard that a husband who has admitted 62 offences, including rapes of his wife, shared messages, images and videos about the abuse with men in Britain and abroad. Prosecutors say the contacts discussed drugging and assaulting the woman, and that the husband described wanting others to abuse her. The evidence matters because it sets out how the alleged abuse was discussed and facilitated online.

Jurors heard that one contact said he was more than 4,000 miles away in Texas, while another was in the US and travelling to Hawaii. Prosecutors described a 2018 video of an assault and 16 images sent to a man in a 17-minute period; the images have not been recovered. David Graves, 60, denies three charges and is accused of discussing tablets to make the woman pass out. The trial is taking place at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court.
