A man has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman who was also drugged and raped by her former husband over several years, police have confirmed.
Dean Hamilton, 47, of Compton Dundon, Somerset, appeared at Winchester Crown Court on Friday, where he admitted one count of rape, one count of assault by penetration, and two counts of sexual assault against Joanne Young, 48, who has waived her right to anonymity.
Hamilton was granted conditional bail and will be sentenced at a later date, Wiltshire Police said. Last month, Joanne Young's ex-husband, Philip Young, 49, a former Conservative councillor, pleaded guilty to nearly 50 offences of drugging, raping, and sexually assaulting her.
Four other defendants have pleaded not guilty to various sexual offences against Joanne Young, including rape and sexual assault. They are due to face trial at Winchester Crown Court in October.
Police are also appealing for help to identify another man wanted in connection with the case, described as being of large build, with scarring on the back of his head and a distinctive tattoo on the left side of his chest.
