The names of 13 men charged alongside a husband accused of drugging and raping his unconscious wife have been revealed.
Reporting restrictions on identifying the men from across the UK were lifted ahead of a trial in Manchester later this year.
The husband, in his sixties and from the Stockport area of Greater Manchester, is accused of drugging and sexually abusing his wife over a 20-year period and conspiring with other men to engage in the sexual assaults. He cannot be named to protect the anonymity of his wife.
He has admitted five counts of rape and a string of sexual offences against his wife, as well as sharing intimate photographs or film without her consent.
However, he has denied 33 other charges, including 11 counts of rape, and is due to stand trial over the alleged offences between 2004 and 2025.
Another defendant, Keith Fotheringham, 59, from Dundee, Scotland, has admitted assault by penetration, conspiracy to rape, conspiracy to assault by penetration, and conspiracy to administer a substance with intent to stupefy or overpower. Fotheringham entered his pleas in February and will be sentenced at a later date.
Also due to stand trial at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court on 1 September are David Graves, 59, of Ilkeston, Derbyshire; Daniel Rayner, 42, of Whitstable, Kent, and Karl Lindsay, 55, of Taunton, Somerset.
They all deny conspiracy to rape, conspiracy to assault by penetration and conspiracy to administer a substance with intent.

Richard Townsend, 37, of Heywood, Greater Manchester, denies assault by penetration and conspiracy to assault by penetration.
On Monday, the husband changed some of his pleas after he previously denied all 48 counts he faced on the indictment involving his wife.
He pleaded guilty to five counts of rape, six counts of assault by penetration and three counts of sexual assault on various dates between 2022 and 2025.
He also admitted sharing intimate photographs or film of his wife, without her consent, for sexual gratification.
He denies 11 counts of rape, two counts of attempted rape, seven counts of assault by penetration, four counts of sexual assault, four counts of conspiracy to rape, three counts of conspiracy to assault by penetration, one count of conspiracy to administer a substance with intent and one count of administering a substance with intent.
