Joanne - who has waived her legal right to anonymity - said Young, who has admitted drugging and raping her, later apologised and told her he had invited someone to watch the couple have sex after browsing online forums.

Four men who Young is alleged to have recruited to abuse his wife at their home are now on trial.

Warning: This story contains distressing details On the second day of the four men's trial, two police interviews with Joanne were played to the court.

During the first interview, dated 29 July 2024, Joanne said the incident when she hid in the bathroom had happened in February 2023 after a night out with friends.

She told police she could not "remember all of it", but said Young had come upstairs after she had gone to bed.

Joanne said she "woke up with a blindfold and restraints on" and loosened the restraint on her right hand and then the left.
（暂无翻译）
At that point, she said, she felt a hand grip her wrist.

She said Young - who she believed was at the end of the bed - said "get down" to someone as she tried to take her blindfold off. Joanne said she then saw someone ducking at the end of the bed and she ran to the bathroom and locked the door.

"The bed is a really big bed.
（暂无翻译）
So to have someone on the end of the bed and the left was not possible… I knew immediately," she told police.

Joanne said she asked Young if he had ever invited anyone to watch them have sex before, which he denied. "It was so intrusive.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
I was so upset.
（暂无翻译）
He knows I would have never said yes to that," she told police.

Joanne told the officer: "I didn't know if I should stay in the relationship or get myself out of the situation."
（暂无翻译）
She said she took the incident as a "one-off" and tried to "move on". Asked by an officer if there was a discussion between Young and Joanne about having someone else in the relationship, she said: "There was a joke years ago, a bit of banter, where he said in the kitchen something like 'would you ever want to sleep with someone else?'. "I said no, and he said 'as long as I can watch you'.

We laughed it off but it was a no."

She added: "It was never a part of our relationship.
（暂无翻译）
There'd never been a discussion.
（暂无翻译）
He never asked me what I wanted, it wasn't a conversation." On the day Young was arrested, Joanne said he admitted to her he had shared images of her online without her consent.

Joanne said it had felt like a "kick in the stomach" and she was left in "shock and utter confusion". She said: "How he could do that to me. How he could do something that's so intimate that's not allowed.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
How can he do it?
（暂无翻译）
How can you do that and think that was OK?"

The prosecution also read out statements from people who had been friends with Joanne and Young during their marriage. Joanne's friend Susan said she thought the couple had a "dream relationship" before Joanne told her about the alleged incident of February 2023. "She was in a real dark place about what happened," the statement said. "After telling me, life went back to normal but what I witnessed from Jo was she didn't seem herself and that Phil had crossed a line from what he had done.

"Jo explained she was torn about why would Phil do this to her.
（暂无翻译）
She was in shock and seemed to be numb."

Philip Young admitted a string of sexual offences against his now ex-wife Emma Brown, who the court was told had been best friends with the couple since 2009, said Young "could handle his drink" and she "never saw him noticeably drunk".

"He was always on his mobile phone...

I didn't know what he was doing as I didn't look at it," she added.
