A German court in Aachen sentenced Fernando P to eight-and-a-half years in prison for drugging and raping his wife over several years, from 2018 to 2024. The man, originally from Spain, was found guilty of aggravated rape, grievous bodily harm, and violation of personal privacy. He filmed the assaults at their home and shared the videos on chat groups and internet platforms. The trial was partially closed to protect the victim's identity. The case is similar to a high-profile French case involving a man drugging his wife and inviting others to rape her. The verdict is subject to appeal.
